Blog Assignment #1 plan
I am planning to work on the topic of identity. How one identifies oneself, how others identify us, how our identity changes over time. I'm thinking of the identities that the governing society gave Indians and how Indians in Southern New England began to change how they saw themselves (as tribal only at first, then more as "Indians"). The Brotherton experiment is a very interesting case.--John Daly

I’m toying with the idea of working on the connection between economics and labor in early colonial New England. The lecture by Dr. Newell and the readings addressing Indian servitude were fascinating. I think having students understand the why, how, and consequence of Indians becoming indentured can be a valuable life lesson.
