Research Plan post

In our group, we are going to examine Native Alaskan storytelling.  This topic seemed broad enough to allow us to find plenty of information, while still narrowing the subject down enough. 

We are contacting Lance Twitchell to get some insight on the more obscure facts.  There are a lot of these little things because most of these stories are only told orally, so having someone that has researched in-depth on the topic will help us to better understand our topic. 

My part in our group is to research the aspects of tradition within the storytelling.  This subject basically overlies the other subjects, as the tradition is basically the heart of our topic.  I am also going to assist Jake in the formatting of the page, and adding the content.  I’m looking forward to this experience as I have never edited or created any content on Wikipedia.

In my preliminary research, I could not find any information solely on the “tradition” of Native Alaskan storytelling.  The information I found was more specific, but it will still help form our end product.
