"Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." —Mark Twain

Join WP:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americas!!

My interest here is to provide better coverage of indigenous art of the Americas, but I have devoted time to filling in gaps in coverage of current tribes and contemporary Native issues. I've added more images of living Native Americans on wikipedia and [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Native_American_people_in_the_United_States Wikimedia Commons]. I've tried to write about California and Great Basin tribes as well.

style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | I just saw your conversation with Montanabw about all of the tribes now having articles, along with your post to the Indigenous people of NA talk page. This is absolutely amazing work, and your tireless focus on an under-represented area of WP is exactly what the wiki needs more of. I know we've never worked together before, but I wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated (and that contributors who don't create drama are rarely noticed as much as they should be...although that may be a good thing...)!
