Individual Assignment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DUE: <\/strong>January 24 by 11:59pm<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Purpose: <\/strong>Even though many of the documents produced in the eighteenth\ncentury about Native Americans are available in the public domain, they remain\ndifficult to locate. This small project will allow us to begin sharing these\nrecords with the communities about whom they were written, to give them greater\naccess to the written record of their own history in order to compare it with\ncommunity memories passed down through oral histories, wampum belts, and other\nmnemonic devices. Similar work has helped tribes claim and maintain federal\nrecognition, preserve land and usage rights, and correct historical\ninaccuracies inscribed in the documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Task:<\/strong> Each person will\nbe assigned 4-6 entries in the Indigenous Documents spreadsheet to complete. You\nwill be given links to the volumes that contain the documents. Some are in HathiTrust,\nso you may need to sign in with your UCLA ID, and some are in the Internet Archive.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Follow the link in the spreadsheet to the volume\nthat contains the document, find a plain-text<\/strong>\nversion and paste it into the Text column. <\/li>
  2. Remove all carriage returns (new lines) so the\ntext doesn\u2019t take up a lot of space on the spreadsheet. The text of the entire\ndocument must fit within a single cell and cannot extend into cells below it.\nThe best way to do this is to copy the text into Word, a Google Sheet, or a\ntext editor, like Sublime, to clean the text and remove all carriage returns\nbefore pasting it into the Google Sheet.<\/li>
  3. Be sure not to include any footnotes,\npage numbers, and headings. <\/strong>We want just the text of the document. <\/li>
  4. The spellings of names and tribes need to be\nconsistent throughout the spreadsheet, including in the text of the document.\nCheck the Documentation, Controlled Vocab and Tribal Name Crosswalk tabs for\nstandardized spellings.\n<\/li>
  5. Skim\nthrough the text of the document to correct the spelling of names.<\/li>
  6. Use\nthe dropdowns (Columns T through AE) to list all Native American tribes referenced\nin your documents.<\/li>
  7. Insert\nNULL in all fields for which there is no information or the requested\ninformation is not applicable.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Criteria for Success:<\/strong> These records will be used for our own\nclass projects, but they will also be shared with as many of the Native\ncommunities listed in them as possible. This means that the records need to be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • (50 pts) Complete:<\/em> all known information for each of your records is included in your entry, including all referenced Native American tribes<\/li>
    • (40 pts) Accurate:<\/em> based on the printed source material<\/li>
    • (35 pts) Clean:<\/em> no page numbers, headings, or random characters in the middle of words, etc. <\/li>
    • (25 pts) Consistent:<\/em> the spellings of individual names and tribes need to be consistent throughout the spreadsheet, including in the document texts. This will make the spreadsheet searchable and enable more accurate text analysis. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
