You're in the news

Almost forgot why I was on this page in the first place. If people didn't know already, there's an interesting article in Slate today that directly impacts your Wikiproject. See "How Misplaced Pages Erases Indigenous History" by Kyle Keeler. Floquenbeam (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I read that this morning. After reading it, I began thinking about making a page in the same vein as LGBT and Misplaced Pages but it would be titled something like Indigenous people and Misplaced Pages (or a better title), since there are articles on the same topic in Smithsonian magazine, Active History, Initiative for Indigenous Futures, Washington Post, Wikimedia Foundation, and there's probably more. Historyday01 (talk) 15:43, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Just read the Keeler piece. If Slate were truly concerned about lack of Indigenous representation, they would have hired a Native writer. Yuchitown (talk) 16:06, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
I mean, reading his Slate bio, I understand why he wrote this article (as it seems to be in his subject area), but it would surely have been better if a Native writer focused on this topic instead. I seriously doubt Slate has a Native writer on staff. Historyday01 (talk) 21:22, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
To your suggestion of creating a page compiling all these links, that would be interesting. It could be global in scope or only Indigenous peoples of North America. Yuchitown (talk) 22:12, 4 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitwon
doesn't change the fact that the article addresses a real problem but yes. PersusjCP (talk) 17:53, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
I think there are a lot of issues on Misplaced Pages but I also think there are a lot of issues with that article, which I find beautifully written. I have been involved in all of the discussions mentioned. Misplaced Pages is not a place for activism. If we truly want to change the direction of society with regards to Indigenous topics then trying to do so by starting with the encyclopedia is the wrong way to go about it. We need to highlight more writings from Indigenous scholarship. We need more Indigenous scholarship. We need more good sources to draw from. Not with the intention of changing Misplaced Pages but the intention of education. Then, by way of said education outside Misplaced Pages and due to the fact there will be more sources to draw from, Misplaced Pages will change because it follows reliable sourcing. Writing articles saying "Bad Misplaced Pages" doesn't really change much in the long run of things. It has taken months of discussion on the Andrew Jackson and Trail of Tears talk page's to get real and effective change. The article's still aren't perfect. We may never get perfect, but it is changing as reliable Indigenous sources are presented which offer a different perspective and as fellow editors are engaging in those conversations with the intent to collaborate rather than force change. --ARoseWolf 17:44, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
I agree with the article. I've written in the Australian history space and any edit that references wrong-doings by colonists is reverted swiftly or the language is white-washed so heavily as to remove any sense of meaning. It was very eye-opening to start editing Misplaced Pages and see how biased the 'history' is here. Most of the history pages in Australia are written by no more than 10 people I see over and over, with one or two taking 'ownership' of an article and forcefully reverting any edits that drift from their vision.
Respectfully disagreeing with ARoseWolf, it doesn't matter if there's good Indigenous sources. Long-term editors will openly flaunt policy, ignore sources, make infinite baseless arguments against good sources, utilise clearly biased (but still published) sources, and push their version by just skirting the line of the 3RR rule. All this while openly using racist language and arguments with no repercussion. As long as they were there first, they have 'consensus' and can do what they want.
I have found no solution to this, sometimes after repeatedly bring cases to the Admin Noticeboard, the most egregious of racists can be topic-banned. But I've had at least one case where despite the user being openly racist and violating policy for months, no action was taken.
This is after me spending months making edits, having them reverted, arguing and arguing, and spending a huge amount of time researching how the dispute process works on Misplaced Pages - only to get no response. No one has time for that. Misplaced Pages is broken in favour of the colonial lense. Poketama (talk) 07:43, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree with Poketama. My experience on Misplaced Pages has included times where I get reprimanded when pointing out people's unprovoked condescending behavior towards Native people is unhelpful to discussions and they should refrain from doing so. Saying such things as Native history, leaders and languages are irrelevant because we are a dying people. It's not appropriate but they'll use "consensus" or find another policy to override Native sources. I'm about ready to retire from Misplaced Pages because of the time wasted dealing with their behavior.  oncamera  (talk page) 15:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Category talk:Honorary members of Native American tribes

Uh, yeah. This just got created. Would appreciate eyes and input. - CorbieVreccan 21:31, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh no. Indigenous girl (talk) 21:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
That was a swift deletion. I'm glad. --ARoseWolf 17:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Renaming discussion for multiple tribes

There is a discussion here concerning renaming the categories for the Cherokee, Seminole, Kickapoo, Wampanoag, Shawnee, and Blackfoot peoples. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 09:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion discussion for Category:American writers of Native American descent

There is a deletion discussion here for the category Category:American writers of Native American descent. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 00:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Pima / Akimel O'odham renaming discussion

There is a renaming discussion for the Pima / Pima people categories here. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 13:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Renaming categories discussion

There is a discussion for renaming categories to drop "tribe" from the category title here. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 15:16, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Dropping "tribe" from last few category names, other issues

Asking for advice from project members. There are a handful of categories remaining that still have "tribe" in the title, but I wasn't quite sure what to rename them. The categories for Category:Miami tribe, Category:Wichita tribe, Category:Iowa tribe, and Category:Peoria tribe cannot drop "tribe" because they are also state and city names. Perhaps a naming pattern such as Category:Miami (people), Category:Iowa (people), etc.? In the cases where there is only a single recognized tribe - such as Category:Mohave tribe, Category:Kaw tribe, and Category:Crow tribe - should "tribe" simply be dropped or should the title be changed to the official name of the nation (e.g., Category:Crow Tribe of Indians or simply Category:Crow, Category:Kaw Nation or simply Category:Kaw, etc)? Aside from those issues, the category for Category:Omaha (Native American) people is inelegant and I can't create a separate Category:Omaha people category for individual Omaha people because that's a disambiguation category. The solution for this issue in the case of the Category:Squamish people is the ugly Category:Squamish people (individuals). Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 04:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

I definitely prefer the formatting like Omaha people as one would see many such ethnic/affiliated group categories on Misplaced Pages. I don't suppose there's any way to get the geographic city resident ones to be renamed to allow for it? Probably not right? Dan Carkner (talk) 18:37, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
For those, just leave them the same. Adding parenthesis just makes it less intuitive and more difficult to type. People is usually reserved for categories of articles about individuals so adds an extra layer of confusion, and (people) isn't an improvement over tribe in regards to these being umbrella categories that include articles about language, culture, history, etc. Yuchitown (talk) 19:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
Ah, I misunderstood, I thought we were talking about categories that contain individuals. Serves me right for responding before drinking my coffee. Dan Carkner (talk) 21:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania

Like almost unrecognized organizational articles, Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania has attracted two wp:single-purpose accounts. I've issued wp:COI warnings on their talk pages, but those seem to achieve nothing. I flagged the article for COI edits. If the attempts to insert promotional links and content continue, I'll try using the COI noticeboard. In the meantime, any extra assistance in seeking a fact-based, NPOV article would be greatly appreciated. Yuchitown (talk) 15:32, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Because this situation is so common, I'm trying to develop best practices to deal with it. Yuchitown (talk) 16:43, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
Looking into it. If people clearly have COI, I flag the talk page as well. If the accounts are disruptive I'll block and/or semi. I've just clarified policy to one of the new users.
I agree, this is typical on these articles. I'll think on what to do as I agree it's a chronic problem. - CorbieVreccan 23:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Looking at the self-referential edits and usernames, the COI is clear. Flagging talk. - CorbieVreccan 23:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Ah, I was not familiar with the Template:Connected contributor. I've been reading around for models of how Misplaced Pages deals with other subjects where the published claims are not backed up by facts. WP:PROFRINGE is helpful. Fortunately, in the case of Delaware people, the Delaware Nation is taking action, like the Cherokee and Shawnee have had to do. Yuchitown (talk) 00:26, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Terminology on Seminole Tribe of Florida Page

Hello all, I did pose this question on the talk page for the article itself, Seminole Tribe of Florida, but I wasn't sure how much exposure it'd get there so I wanted to drop the question here as well: The term "full bloods" is used in the article and I am unsure if this is accepted terminology or outdated? To be honest, even if it is outdated, I couldn't think of a good synonym for Seminole members who were fully "genetically" Seminole. Thanks! Amscheip (talk) 16:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Full-bloods is still used by Native American people. For questions like this, you can refer to recent published literature while paying attention to context and authors. Full-blood has a hyphen, even as a noun, as per Merriam-Webster. I'm more concerned about the term half-breed, since that is derogatory, while full-blood is typically a term of respect. BTW full-blood is almost never literal (someone might be of 100% Native ancestry but rarely 100% a single tribal group unless one considers captives to be adopted and becoming 100% that group). In regards to Seminoles, it can't be, since they are an amalgamation of several earlier tribes. Yuchitown (talk) 16:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
Thank you @Yuchitown, appreciate the feedback and knowledge on the subject. Amscheip (talk) 22:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Great Sioux Nation

There is a deletion conversation occurring that is relevant to this WikiProject. CT55555(talk) 02:51, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Infoboxes#First Nations/US federally recognized tribes

I thought it had been long settled that for people who are dual citizens of a both a nation-state (such as Canada or the United States) and a First Nation/US federally recognized tribe (or, rarely, more than one tribe, with threefold citizens), their First Nation/tribe and "American"/"Canadian" are listed in their infobox under "nationality." This can't be inferred from someone's place of birth. It's a challenge since Indian law isn't taught in most schools, so most non-Native people don't understand that tribal citizenship is not symbolic; that one does have treaty rights, follow tribal laws, vote in tribal elections, etc. Any insights here would be greatly appreciated. Yuchitown (talk) 01:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Pronunciation of Kúkpi7

Hello all, editor @Dirac66 left a note on the talk page for Kúkpi7 Rosanne Casimir, asking how it was pronounced and I wondered if anyone here would be able to let them know & perhaps add it to Casimir's page (I started the page, but am yet to learn about the pronunciation). Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 08:35, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Done! The transcription is based on the phonology section of Shuswap language. There is also this source , which provides the faux-netic "COOK'pee". James Hyett (talk) 14:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

New editor adding unsourced and text that contradicts the source

All in good faith I’m sure, grat concern about genocide, etc, which is all good but they need to follow policy. It’s Ccaakk (talk · contribs). Doug Weller talk 20:18, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Jesse Ed Davis

Was he Kiowa? Anyone have any WP:NDN-RS sources for that? - CorbieVreccan 21:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely and of Comanche, Seminole, and Muscogee descent. His father was a prominent Comanche artist, Asawoya. Added more sources. Yuchitown (talk) 23:11, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
I figured he was Native, but we really need better sources. NAMMYs are not usable, as they continually award pretendians and either don't do due diligence, or don't care. Census records line up a bit differently than what's in the article and the Oklahoma bio only says "heritage". We don't have a source for where he was enrolled. - CorbieVreccan 19:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Oklahoma Historical Society is a completely reliable source that includes Native authors and non-Native historians. Most importantly, OHS consults with all 38 Oklahoma tribes and are accountable to communities. Of course, they weren't using "heritage" the way we are now. Once in a blue moon, the NAMMYs recognize an actual Native American. Yuchitown (talk) 20:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown

Charging Thunder

a quick question: if one wants to raise a query/concern with wikidata editors but doesn't actually want to edit a page, how would one go about it? The issue: the wikidata entry for Charging Thunder (George Edward Williams) includes a photo of the real Charging Thunder (an entirely different person). Meanwhile, on the Misplaced Pages Sihasapa page there is a reference to Charging Thunder (George Edward Williams) - under famous Sihasapa. The corroboration for the description is a citation of a BBC article in 2006, an interview given by an English family member. The trouble is there was only one Charging Thunder who travelled with Buffalo Bill and he didn't stay in England. No idea who George really is, but he isn't CT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.7.213.234 (talk) 10:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

For what it is worth (i.e., not much), there appears to be a gravestone in Gorton Cemetary, Manchester, for George Edward Williams, nee Charging Thunder. By the age and death date given, he would have been born about 1877, and have been about 23 when the Wild West Show appeared in Manchester in 1903. The story appears to be popular with bloggers in the UK, but I haven't found any reliable sources so far. Donald Albury 16:52, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

RfC and Discussion about Native Citizenship at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Biography#Request for comment: should we add nationality usage examples for lead sentences?

There's now an RfC for just putting it back the way it was: Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Biography#Request for comment: should we add nationality usage examples for lead sentences? and after that yet more discussion on particular tweaks to the section. I've already reverted it back to the way it was, fwiw, but an official RfC is important. - CorbieVreccan 23:00, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Discussions that led up to the RfC:

Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Biography#Native American needs input from those who understand citizenship issues. - CorbieVreccan 21:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Also here: Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Biography#Consensus behind the section Skyerise added in November. - CorbieVreccan 22:39, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Yuchitown and to a very much lesser extent, myself, tried reasoning with that Boxing fellow. Yuchi spent way more than enough time trying to explain things to him and he did not want to hear it. I'm dealing with something right now and will try to jump in. Hopefully other editors will as well because he will wear you out. Indigenous girl (talk) 00:01, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Iron Thunderhorse needs drastic cleanup

Basically promotional, most of it written by - see their comments on the talk page. Note that Infinity Publishing is a self-publishing company and that "Ancient American" was edited by Frank Collin and is the usual fraudulent archaeology stuff. Doug Weller talk 13:39, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Iron Thunderhorse, Algonquian Confederacy of the Quinnipiac Tribal Council, and Quinnipiac are the most batshit crazy things I've ever come across on Misplaced Pages. I'm hoping to overhaul Quinnipiac when I have the free time. Should probably get back to work this second. Yuchitown (talk) 15:47, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
Thanks. Most of it was written by this guy and anything he touched to do with Native Americans is suspect - he was clearly an Iron Thunderhorse supporter. Doug Weller talk 08:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Many changes at Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

Including an undiscussed page move, by a user who has been moving a number of Indigenous pages without discussion. I just reverted this one. Page title discussion on talk. Could use input. - CorbieVreccan 19:17, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Discussion about merging this Wikiproject

There is a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americas#Merger proposal to merge this Wikiproject into that one. The user who initiated it has been renaming articles from "Native American" to Indigenous peoples etc without much discussion, as seen in the above discussion about MMIW.  oncamera  (talk page) 04:39, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Multiple page moves without discussion

Related to both of the above sections... while some have been reverted, relatively-new user Treetoes023 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) moved some Native pages to new titles without discussion, or in some cases, despite a discussion on talk rejecting the title this user chose. User has been thoroughly warned, but has continued to be disruptive. I'm going back through their contribs to see if any more need to be reverted. See here, for example: Talk:Indigenous peoples of the Americas name controversy#Page was moved without discussion. Yes, that's where they moved Native American name controversy. - CorbieVreccan 22:31, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Discussion about the usage of the term "Native American" on Misplaced Pages going on at WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americas

There is currently a discussion about the usage of the term "Native American" on Misplaced Pages going on at WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americas, contribute to the discussion here. – Treetoes023 (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Si-Te-Cah is a mess

I've worked on this before but I've spent hours recently poring through sources and it's just a mess, from the first sentence on. It starts "According to reports of Northern Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah, Saiduka or Sai'i are a legendary tribe whose mummified remains were allegedly discovered under four feet of guano by guano miners in what is now known as Lovelock Cave near Lovelock, Nevada, United States.".

But see the section on oral history, which includes "Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of Paiute Chief Winnemucca, wrote about what she described as "a small tribe of barbarians" who ate her people in her book Life Among the Paiutes: Their Wrongs and Claims. She wrote that "after my people had killed them all, the people round us called us Say-do-carah.'" In other words, the name is a name for the Northern Paiutes according to Hopkins.

If you look at something earlier I wrote at Talk:Si-Te-Cah#Needs a complete overhaul I've fixed the url for a survey which says ” Loud and Harrington (1929:166) questioned Hopkins name identification for Saydo-carah. They state (1929:166): “The Northern Paiute applied to the ancient people the name sai-duka’a, “tule-eaters,” a name which might be applied to any people with this habit. This may account for the application of the name or its shortened form sai’i to the Pit Rive Indians and the form Saidyuka to Indians of eastern Oregon.” This says Hopkins reorted that, well whoever they were, Paiutes or not, spoke Northern Paiute and mentions similar stories.

This"I Would Rather Be with My People, but Not to Live with Them as They Live": Cultural Liminality and Double Consciousness in Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins's "Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims" Author(s): Noreen Groover Lape Source: American Indian which suggests the story is meant to support acculturation (Hopkins preferred American culture}.

Her book is here.

Surely the lead needs to concentrate on the people? And we have conflicting definitions of the name, although I don't think we can avoid them the name section suggests just one. Doug Weller talk 12:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Misplaced Pages editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

A deletion discussion is underway that is relevant to this project. CT55555(talk) 15:00, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Technically, Hawaii is not part of North America. I don't see a comparable WikiProject that covers Native Hawaiians, however (the only other WikiProject beside this and the one for the "Americas" I see that has "indigenous people" in its name is for Australia). So, do we just ignore the technicalities and accept Native Hawaiians as indigenous people of North America? If this has been discussed before, I apologize for bringing it up again. Donald Albury 16:21, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for mentioning that. I had not considered if Hawai'i was in scope when I posted this. I think (I am not sure) that politically Hawai'i is considered North America even if geographically it is not.
Perhaps this moment or location isn't optimal address the bigger questions of the scope of the project, but an opportunity for members who consider it relevant to be aware and for those who don't consider it relevant, apologies if I've erred. CT55555(talk) 16:38, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
I don't see a better venue for issues involving Native Hawaiians, but I'm not sure if there are any participants in this project that are familiar with Native Hawaiian issues. Donald Albury 16:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Hawaii is definitely not part of North America but there are numerous other wikiprojects that cover Native Hawaiians. Try WP:WikiProject Polynesia and WP:WikiProject Oceania. Yuchitown (talk) 16:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
