This project is demonstration of the ways that the Indigenous American narrative is being repossessed in today’s time by combining Native Studies with Southern Studies, and a separation of the concept of the Removal Act as being a part of Native American culture. It includes links to scholarly outside sources; maps of where major Native American tribes and their territories; removal routes; etc. This project also displays materials that give a better understanding or overview, such as maps of where tribes were located, and the routes in which they may have been forced off of their land. There also appears to be an article that leads to several sources relating to the subject at hand, including Google Books and other articles from Native American authors.

May require a knowledge of how to build interactive articles or programs that can make an article interactive rather than just an article with text.

Perhaps. The maps on this project are clickable, however, some of them appear to be cropped, so a program that could keep this from happening would most likely have a better affect on the viewer of this project.

Having a solid background or idea of Native American culture, and have an understanding that there are, in fact, different tribes in order to make sense of the information being given here.
