style='font-style:italic'>Topics should be specific enough that you can focus
your energies on thoroughly documenting your subject. The sample proposal
(see link above) addresses a very specific part of tribal foodways, i.e.,
historic horticultural practices of an eastern tribe. It is broad
enough to find sufficient materials (paintings, photographs, oral interviews,
maps, photos of artifacts, etc.) that can be incorporated into the short
documentary film that all Fellows will produce, yet is focused enough to ensure
that adequate research can be done during the time allotted for this project.
To see a few research projects that are of the size and scope we
envision, you may wish to visit a website where Caddo tribal members have
created small-scale documentation projects on various aspects of their culture,
including bows and arrows, grass thatched houses, dugout canoes, pottery and
songs and dances. The researchers did an excellent job in locating
images, interviewing tribal members, and writing about their subjects.
