Native American Housing - CRAAP Evaluation

Currency: The timeliness of the information
Is the information (while perhaps historic) current or out-of-date? Has it been revised or updated?
Not Current: 1
While much of the information seems current based on what I know of Native American housing, the website does not list update or revision dates. Many of the links would not open or could no longer be found. We also have no idea when this information was first published as I cannot locate an origination date for the website. So for that reason, despite it being historically based, I did not find that the website could be deemed current.
Relevance: The importance of the information for your needs.
Does the information relate to your topic or answer your question? Is the information at an appropriate level?
Somewhat Relevant: 2
The information seems to be historically accurate. However, I would not feel comfortable using this as a reference on a research paper. The website is a good jumping off point. It gives you a place to start and from there you can further research your topic. The information is written in a way that older elementary age students would understand the text they are reading.
Authority: The source of the information
What are the author’s qualifications to write on the topic?
Not Authoritative: 1
The website is maintained by Dee Finney and lists an email for this person. Other than that it lists no credentials or qualifications. Some of the sites it lists are accredited organizations that specialize in Native American studies but some of the other sites are lacking in any sort of proof of qualifications to write on the subject.
Accuracy: The reliability, truthfulness, and correctness of the informational content.
Where does the information come from? Is the information supported by evidence? Has the information been reviewed or refereed?
Somewhat Accurate: 2
The website seems to follow what the fifth grade social studies book for the Boise School District has to say on the subject. But once again I'm unable to locate any references or reviews for the website. The website does not reveal where it found the information or whether it is supported by any evidence or research.
Purpose: The reason the information was published
Is the information fact, opinion or propaganda? Does the point of view appear objective and impartial?
Appropriate Purpose: 3
The website does not appear to show any bias. It seems to be relaying just the information. The author posts that it is for educational purposes.
