I have all my information i need to make a good essay on the Apache Tribe. i can't come up with an argrumentive Thesis statement. Help!!!!
Apaches in Oklahoma? There are fewer Apaches in Oklahoma than Armadillos, aren't there? The only Apaches I know of in Oklahoma are a few remnants of Dines, who are mainly not in Oklahoma.
If this is true, and you need to verify it, perhaps an argument that the Apache nation ought to opt for economic integration, if they can't have geographic cohesion. They have common problems: poverty, drug abuse, and lack of opportunity.
the esaay is on the Apache Tribe, their culture,hunting and farming techniques used in past history. i live in Oklahoma, and by the way there are many Apache Indians in Oklahoma.
Could your thesis then involve past practices vs changes? Did the farming and hunting techniques change toward what the White Man did? What things did not change, and why? I think you could make a nice historical thesis based in that area.
Now the data. You stated there are many Apaches in Oklahoma.
Here are the current census numbers (I called each tribe).
Apaches of Oklahoma 2200 individuals.
Ft Sill Apachies 615 members
Total: 2800 Apaches in Oklahoma. That is not a large population, as compared to other tribes.
Thanks for asking.
Indeed there are Plains Apaches in Oklahoma I have an uncle who was one.
Sra
Curiously, I checked the Wiki articles on the Plains Apache (Kiowa), who are now known as the Apache tribe of Oklahoma. Wiki lists the population as 2100, whereas the tribe claims 2200, which still points to a small total population (in Oklahoma).
Sure, I'd be happy to help you come up with an argumentative thesis statement for your essay on the Apache Tribe.
To begin, I suggest reviewing all the information you have gathered about the Apache Tribe. Look for patterns, recurring themes, or any points of interest that stand out to you. Consider the historical, cultural, or social aspects of the tribe that you find most compelling or worth exploring further.
Once you have identified some key points or ideas, you can use them to formulate your thesis statement. An argumentative thesis statement is a clear and concise sentence that presents your main argument or claim. It should express a position that can be supported with evidence and provide a roadmap for the rest of your essay.
For example, if you found that the Apache Tribe's resistance against colonial forces had a significant impact on their cultural identity, a thesis statement could be:
"The Apache Tribe's steadfast resistance against colonization not only preserved their cultural traditions, but also demonstrated their resilience in the face of external pressures."
Here, the thesis statement reflects the argument that the Apache Tribe's resistance to colonization had a lasting impact on their cultural identity and highlights their strength in maintaining their traditions.
Remember, your thesis statement should be specific and focused, highlighting the main argument you will make in your essay. You may need to refine and revise it as you continue researching and writing. Additionally, it's always helpful to seek feedback from your instructor or peers to ensure your thesis statement is strong and compelling.
