Cherokee author Phil Konstantin (author of
This Day in North American Indian History
) has announced an essay contest for students who belong to a north american Indian tribe.
Phil says, "There are a couple of reasons for this contest. It is my hope that these
essays will help raise the participant's awareness in the subject
matter. Sharing the information will help to educate the public, as
well. Finally, this is a way for me to help pay back the community who
has supported my efforts through my websites, newsletters and book
This is an essay contest for North American Indian students. Anyone who
is a member of any tribe between the North Pole and Panama is eligible
to enter. When the word "tribe" is used is the rules, it is meant to
include the concept of "nation" or "native village," as well.
There are three subjects: one for elementary/junior high school
students, one for high school students, and one for college students.
Mr. Konstantin will be the judge and final arbitor of the contest, but might ask
others for their opinions or assistance. Some of the essays will be published on the This Day in North American Indian History website and in that web site's newsletters.
Assigned Subject of the Essays:
Elementary and Junior High School students:
"What everyone needs to know about my tribe."
High school students:
"How my tribe's history guides my life."
College students:
"What does tribal sovereignty mean to my tribe."
Prizes for the Essay Contest:
There will be a total of three first place winners: one for each of the
different grade levels. There will be a total of six runners-up: two for each of the different grade levels.
All nine first place and runners-up essays will be posted on the This Day in North American Indian History website, and included in the newsletter.
First Place Prize:
$50.00 (U.S.)
A signed copy of Phil Konstantin's Indian history book.
