Option 1

Article title

Articulation (sociology)

Article Evaluation

Although the article mentions Antonio Gramsci, Chantel Mouffe and Stuart Hall, it does not mention the use of articulation theory in Indigenous rhetoric toward grappling with Indigenous or Native affiliation and that affiliations relation to place/space. There is a lengthy passage on the mechanics of articulation and it would be beneficial to show that mechanics application in decolonial contexts, which itself might be a meta-articulation.

Option 2

Article title

Indigenous American philosophy

Article Evaluation

There is a section title the principle of relatedness that would benefit from expansion, I think. I would need to read the citation that was used on the page first, but it might be good to expand into a section talking about relationality within Indigenous axiology, ontology, epistemology.

Option 3

Article title

Native American rhetoric

Article Evaluation

As it stands, this article just a timeline and a list of sources. Theoretically, all of the sources read so far in class could be used here. This would be a good place to talk about rhetorical sovereignty and rhetorical legibility/legible sovereignties. This article has a ton of potential insofar as there is so much that can be added to it.

Option 4

Article title

Indigenous Decolonization

Article Evaluation

Although there is a section on food sovereignty, there is not a section on rhetorical sovereignty. Taiaiake Alfred would work particularly well here as well as Morgensen.
