Option 1

 * Article title
 * Daniel Wilson (academic)


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is a weak biographical account of Canada's 'first' Anthropologist that contains no information on why Wilson is important or what his contribution to Anthrpology is. He has several scholarly articles written on him and his impact and even if it is no longer relevent to modern Anthropology remembering where the field came from is critical. He has recieved a varity of accolades such as a residency at U of T and knightship which make him a figure with at least some historical importance.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Monica Heller


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has poor formatting and only a short sentence on her actual work/its impact. The article could use improvement and as one of the few presidents of AAA to come from a non-US institution she is an important figure in the history of Canadian Anthropology.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Repatriation


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has important infromation on the repatriation of humans and human remains but little related to cultural objects. It mentions that items can be repatriated but not why (culturally/historically) or how theyare repatriated. This is an important topic in the history of Anthropology as Anthropologists begin to consider the agency of indigenous people and their cultural objects. Also in the context of WInnipeg this is important as it relates to the controversy of Naamiwan's Drum
