My dad is the youngest of five children. His closest sibling in age is seven years older than him, just like me. With the majority of her children grown, my grandma accepted the call to house a Native American as a part of President Kimball's Indian Placement Program. My dad recalls the Native American, Leroy, being mean to him and unenthusiastic about being in a strange home. I would like research if all Native Americans felt this way, or if there were successes in the program. What impact did this act have on the lives of the Native Americans (their culture, their families, their education, etc.). Also, what impact did the act have on the families the Indians stayed with? I also would like to look in my dad's family journals and talk to my aunts and uncles about this topic and see what else I can learn.
What questions do you want to answer with your research paper?
What purpose do you have in sharing your narrative? In other words, how do you answer the, "so what?"
What is it exactly you're trying to discover?
How does this affect you?
