5 Stories From the Past

While looking for something on my computer I found a word document titled Joe. Fascinated, I opened the file. I discovered it was a book about my grandpa's brother Joe. Scrolling thorough it I found all sorts of interesting tid bits about my family. I decided to use some things from this book for my research paper. At first I thought about writing about the atomic bomb detonated in the desert near my grandpa's family, then I noticed the complex relationship my family had with the local Indians. I was interested to find that they were good friends despite the problems my family had suffered from them earlier. Despite this friendship though, their relationship of complex and they didn't always think the best of the other one. Because of this, I have decided to write my research paper on how the relationship between the ranchers in New Mexico and Indians were complex.

Update: I have decided on my research question:  What were the complexities of New Mexican Ranchers and local Indian relationships? Some of the key words I came  up with were ranchers, New Mexico, New Mexican Indians, rancher and Indian relationships.

So far I've come across a few interesting articles in the history data base. After I go through them, I plan on looking in the social sciences data base if I haven't found enough information.
