- Be sure to document all resources used (including websites pictures were found) and include it in your PowerPoint.
** to save the PowerPoint, select save as, then change the file to "lastfirst,per#,tribename" ~ for example, if I completed the project on the Chickasaw tribe, my file name would be "butlerpatty,per5,Chickasaw"
