I'd be interested in doing the option that publishes a website educating readers about Native American literature, its history, and the major critical issues in order to provide a context for reading Ceremony and The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fidtfight in Heaven. This is option C on our assignment sheet. As I have an art minor, I'd really enjoy the visual and possibly audio qualities this topic could produce. As I'm doing my final paper on nativism, I feel I can use the research I've gathered so far best in this topic. I have some basic web design/graphic skills taught to me by my Computer Science boyfriend (haha), so I can deal with most of the design elements of the project.
I propose a fairly interactive site which educates readers about various periods of Native American literature, complete with images and possibly audio if we can get ahold of it. I'd also like to devote at least part of the site to a timeline and another part to a fairly intensive discussion of critical issues; maybe one page could be devoted to nativism and examples in the text, maybe another to postmodernism, etc. We'd be designing roughly ten pages all linked together, with varying amounts of text. I'd prefer a group of about 3-4 for this project, mostly for the bulk of the writing. I could take on most of the design/audio/graphics elements (with some help from my programmer boyfriend...haha again), not to say I won't take on some of the writing, too. So if you want a group where you won't have to fiddle with the site and just write, you're more than welcome. Of course, if you want to design, I'd have no qualms, either. I'll write, no problem!
...I call dibs on the nativism page and the timeline, though! =)

I'd be more than interested in working on this with you. I was intrigued by option C as well, I'd really like to do something to educate people about American Indian literature, and I'd be more than glad to write rather than mess with computer stuff. Let me know what you think!
