rubric
4-5 sentences naming specific continuing impact + present-tense + at least one cited source (cultural-office statement, contemporary Indigenous-author writing, or state-government document)
Hints
- Continuing impact = something that affects Indigenous nations TODAY, not just historical effects.
- Present-tense throughout.
Misconceptions to watch
- Treating impact as 'past' without continuing-impact framing
- Missing the source citation
- Using past-tense for living Indigenous nations
