thread_title: Zydeco

message: Gatschet and Swanton documented people in Southeastern Texas and Southwestern Louisiana in the 1880s through the first decade or so of the twentieth century who could speak the Atakapa language. So is it appropriate to say that they were "decimated" in the 1850s?
:Correct.  They weren't decimated in the 1850s.  There is no citation to that either.  Apparently, their descendants still exist.  An entire article in the The Times of Acadiana (July 25, 2007 Vol 27 No 48) approaches this topic in depth and this is why the tribe is still fighting for recognition.

replies: text: Incorrect. Documenting some survivors doesn't imply they were numerous, and fighting for recognition (and now rather than earlier) suggests the opposite, that they were decimated into insignificance or at least obscurity. It doesn't necessarily mean that the article is correct, but those two arguments alone are poor. -LlywelynII (talk) 19:01, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are currently at least three organized groups of Ishak, which suggests they still exist.  Either way, the tone of this article violates the neutrality of Wikipedia by attempting to deny their claim of existence. Hoktiwe (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Source for further improvement

message: Article is sourced but contradicts TSHA Handbook of Texas article, which suggests it was the Karankawa on Galveston Island who succored and enslaved the Spaniard. I'm thinking the HoT is better researched, documented, and sourced here, but perhaps they are wrong: any more sources to corroborate that it was the Attacapa? -LlywelynII (talk) 19:01, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm... well, the TSHA article on Attacapas contradicts the one on Karankawas: I guess it's just unclear who the "Han" where (although presumably not Chinese) and academic partisans are backing whomever they're studying. (Too cynical?) Regardless, article does say the Attacapans were down to 9 people by 1908. -LlywelynII (talk) 19:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Given that the tribe's internal name is Ishak, it seems that should be the title of the article. There is at least one article online that lists it that way, and it is from the 64 Parishes Encyclopedia, published by the Louisiana Endowment for the humanities. I've put a link to it in the links section. Hoktiwe (talk) 19:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
