Research paper: topic proposal


Claim:
Cherokee trust funds, a solution prone to debate.   

Support:
-Explain how trust funds work, what they are.
-History of Native American trust funds. What led to their creation?
-Where does the money come from?
-How are funds distributed among young Cherokee? Does everyone get assets of equal worth? Are Cherokees living outside the county entitled?
-How are investments chosen? Who, what authority manages the trust funds?
-What placements are made? Have some been controversial within the Cherokee nation?
-Pros and cons in the community


Warrant:
-Assess the supposed “reparative power” of trust funds
-Contrast with other “compensative” measures such as education grants.
