- draft title: The Significance of Dance Rituals
I have conducted some research respecting this topic to discover that many Indigenous communities in both Canada and the rest of the world use a variety of dance rituals to express different aspects of their culture. This is of particular interest to me as I have both a passion for dance and and interest in culture. I am keen on conducting further research regarding which different styles of dance are reflective of particular moods, emotions, or are reserved for celebration. It will also be fascinating to discover which non-Indigenous communities share similarities in their own dance practices. The main idea or question I would like to answer is: ?How have Indigenous dance rituals aided in the preservation of culture and has survived the struggles of assimilation?
2. draft title: Myth and Creation Stories
As a child, I was told many different First Nations creation stories which have strongly influenced my perception of the world to this day. Exploring this topic would be entering an enchanting world of tales both written recently, and passed down orally for thousands of years. I am especially interested in comparing and contrasting Native creation stories to each other, and to other creation stories world wide. The main question I will attempt to answer through this project is: How do Indigenous creation stories influence moral behaviour in Indigenous communities? 
3. draft title: Indigenous Relationships With Land vs. Non-Indigenous Relationships with Land
It is well known that in recent years, the Earth has been exploited and abused for its resources by humans. This was not so much the case in North America before Europeans settled here, as well as before the repercussions of the industrial revolution. After reading Thomas King’s The Inconvenient Indian, I was fascinated on his perspective in respect to Indigenous ties to land versus non-Indigenous ties to land. He brought up an interesting viewpoint which was that although some non-Indigenous individuals may view the land their ancestors have settled as sacred, history and current government laws prove that Indigenous people generally have a much higher respect for the Earth and all of the gifts it has to offer. For this topic, I would research this history and investigate current government laws to answer the big question which is: How do the indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships with land influence each other today?
