ATTENTION ALL GRADUATE STUDENTS: M.A./Ph.D. Research Opportunity on Six
Nations Territory



The Jake Thomas Learning Centre is looking for another qualified graduate
student to write a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation based on
traditional knowledge in the Jake Thomas Archive, which has never before
been studied comprehensively in any academic work.  The result will be an
original and scholarly project that approaches Hotinonshon:ni (Iroquois)
studies from the inside, making use of indigenous knowledge systems and
oral history/tradition.



Potential topics of interest include Hotinonshon:ni customs and
ceremonies, the Gaiwiio (Code of Handsome Lake), the Great Law or
Hotinonshon:ni Constitution, treaties, wampum, oral tradition,
Mohawk/Onondaga/Cayuga linguistics, etc.



Please see attached document and contact Yvonne Thomas
(jtlc at worldchat.com) for additional details.




DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 1 NOVEMBER, 2008




(Please note that applicants must already have funding or be in the
process of applying for it.  Given the fall deadline for many funding
agencies (SSHRC, OGS, SSRC, Fulbright), applicants are encouraged to apply
to such agencies with the Jake Thomas Archive project in mind.)
