: Wikipedia is an openly editable resource, meaning that you can improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia entries. As one of the web’s most visited reference sites, Wikipedia serves as a starting point for many individuals looking to learn about art, history, and science.

: During this training, attendees of all experience levels will learn the basics of how to edit Wikipedia by updating articles related to the history of Indigenous women of the Americas. Despite the name "Native American Women Edit-a-thon," the scope of this project includes Indigenous peoples from South and North Americas.

: This event is planned in conjunction with the [https://americanindian.si.edu/ National Museum of the American Indian] and the [https://womenshistory.si.edu Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative], a multiyear undertaking to document, research, collect, display, and share the history of women in the United States.
