THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE INDIGENOUS ECOTOURISM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA FOR ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES’ IDENTITY, CULTURE, AND LANGUAGE.

Hi! This is a Research Paper for my English class and it′s worth 75% of my mark, a pretty big deal, that why I need help of an expert. The main theme of the class is ″city and urban experience″ so I had to choose a topic based on the class theme. My topic/ research question is: Why the indigenous ecotourism in British Columbia is important for the preservation and revitalisation of aboriginal communities’ identity, culture, and language. My professor has already approved the topic and said that it sounds like a great project. The first step of this research paper is to write ″Research proposal and annotated bibliography″ overall it should no more than 3 pages double spaced. My professor encourages to do multiple case studies, looking at the different cities that do have indigenous ecotourism, for example Cancun, park Xcaret or other cities and then to use those cities as role models and apply the state of knowledge about those cities to the indigenous ecotourism in Vancouver′s urban setting. If there are articles that have some sort of debate (problematic cases) about advantages and disadvantages of indigenous ecotourism , the debate should be mentioned in the research proposal.

If there is a debate then the research proposal should be looking at how to tackle, resolve the debate, illustrate the competing positions. Given the debate or problematic cases or advantages of indigenous ecotourism, the ecotourism situations in different cities can be compared and then applied to the indigenous ecotourism in Vancouver . The research proposal should be based on the state of knowledge, orchestration, indication of a strong position. ″Orchestration is a particularly striking feature in introductions, which gives scholars an opportunity to construct a state of knowledge in which the key voices speak briefly, providing a snapshot of research on a given subject″ (chapter 6, academic writing, janet giltrow) – this book will be helpful. https://b-ok.cc/book/3340054/debbb9 This is one of the course articles the article “We Can’t Feel Our Languages”, author Natalie J.K. Baloy. I though it might be helpful for this research. It doesn′t talk about ecotourism but it talks about the importance of indigenous culture, identity and languages. I also need to indicate the possible knowledge deficit in the annotated bibliography. The goal of the research proposal is to use state of knowledge, orchestration, position, identify further opportunity to explore, questions to ask, potential solution to integrating indigenous ecotourism into Vancouver, complexities to unravel. Establishing purpose, impetus, need to explore. *The terms Orchestration and state of knowledge are important, it′s a part of the course terminology. I attached the assignment/ rubric please take a look at that too. But please keep in my what I′ve written here because that basically what my professor said to me. I also attached something that I′ve already written on this topic. This is my email thebykova.s@gmail.com so that we could communicate easier.
