message: As we slowly expand the articles in this section, should we have separate articles for bands and reservations and then any communities on those reservations.  For instance, the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is headquartered in Red Cliff, Wisconsin on the Red Cliff Indian Reservation.  Should that be three articles or one?  Currently, we have some articles written for bands under the name of the reservation and some under the name of the band.

replies: text: That would clearly be three articles at the end.  As a start, Red Cliff, Wisconsin would be a separate from the tribe, but as the tribal information develops, the tribal and reservational articles would develop to their own right.  A good example of that is the White Earth Indian Reservation being the original tribe and reservation article but grew to a point they were then separated to the more correct reservation article and the White Earth Band of Ojibwe article. CJLippert 02:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to agree considering tribal members can live off reservation, some larger reservations have more than one "town" within them, etc.  Plus, one could add very good infomation on the history of a reservation that doesn't really fit the article about the band and vice versa.  As such, I would support leaving Curve Lake First Nation 35, Ontario and Curve Lake First Nation separate. (Leo1410 15:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I've been placing the Nishnawbe Aski Nation template at each of the articles on NAN communities and have been running into the same problem.  In most cases the article is at XXXX, Ontario rather than XXXX First Nation.  So far, I just made redirects to whatever the article is already at.  The problem has been when the community is more than just the reserve.  In these cases (Moose Factory, Ontario, Chapleau, Ontario) I didn't make any redirects.  Since I know next to nothing about those communities, and Cree is outside the scope of this project, I'll let someone else worry about it.

thread_title:  Migration of images from hr.wikipedia to commons.wikipedia? 

message: Not much seems to have happened in the last month and a half with this. The Chippewa mythology article needs some serious cleanup1 and expansion, of course, and should be moved to one of the locations that were discussed. Personally, I think I'd opt for Anishinaabe traditional beliefs--we could maybe have sections on the aadizookaanan and the characters (like Wenabozho and the wiindigoog) who appear frequently in them, rather than the fairly clumsy throwing-together of various manitous and characters that are in the article now. Then, say, another section for summarizing the Midewiwin and birch bark scrolls...and maybe another on the migration story? As it stands in the article now, the brief mention of the story isn't up to snuff, but it's certainly an important aspect of Anishinaabe legend, yes? I'm not sure if it should just go in with the traditional stories section, though? And should the manitous which inhabit the Anishinaabe world go in a separate section as well, or be incorporated into the aadizokaan section?
1. Example: the first sentence of the lead, as it now stands, reads, "Chippewa Traditional Beliefs comes from the Chippewa a Native Nation of Native Americans located in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada." ("a Native Nation of Native Americans"?)

replies: text: Merged, rearranged, divided, tagged.  Still needs major clean-up, but I hope that this would at least provide a framework for doing such cleanup.  The characters are still jumbled together, but I have placed them right after the aadizookaan section so the characters section can easily be made into a subsection of the previous.  I think there are some characters that need to be weeded out because it may be that the original pre-merged articles may have gotten "Algonquin" and "Algonquian" mixed up... I've seen some Abenaki mythology character names mixed in the list. CJLippert 23:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't really think two categories are necessary right now. Algonquin mythology only has three articles in it anyway. My thought is that we should combine them as :Category:Anishinaabe mythology, which would then include both the Ojibwes and the Algonquins. Although I'm not entirely clear on how we'd do that--just create the new category, recategorize all the pages that are currently categorized as Ojibwa mythology or Algonquin mythology, and then have Ojibwa mythology and Algonquin mythology deleted?

replies: text: I wouldn't oppose such a move.  Ojibwe nationhood is somewhat elusive in the sense that a Menominee can say I am of the Menominee Nation and there is no doubt what that means, but for an Ojibwe is Lac Courte Oreilles a nation?  Lake Superior Chippewa?  Ojibwe? Anishinaabe?  I don't think anyone really has the answer to that.  Anyway though, tribe has all the same problems and nation, it seems, is now the preferred term.  Leo1410 16:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is Lac Courte Oreilles a nation?  Lake Superior Chippewa?  Ojibwe? Anishinaabe?  The answer is "yes" to all four.  Here lies the problem of placing an Eurasian concept of nation.  Do we mean a country?  Do we mean a political unit of government?  Do we mean common-bond of peoplehood?  In the case of the governments of Canada and the United States, "nation" is political unit of government.  So then, the next question is what form of government is this.  For each community or aggregation of communities, the answer from each is different.  The best we can do here is take a look at how the people themselves organize themselves and how these interactions relate to other groupings. And then how these successive grouping eventually interact and mesh with the Federal governments of Canada and United States (and for historical perspectives, with British North America and its predicessor the French North America).

My guess (an this is only a guess as I don't know how small of a component they now are), of the ethnic population of 219,711 people who are Ojibwe, the main Ojibwa branch and the Saulteaux branch are the two largest Ojibwa branches (my guess being 40% each -- about 87,884 people each) and the Mississaugas being the remaining 20% (about 43,943).

message: I'm seeking the aid of an administrator in regard to this article. For the past month, a series of anonymous IP editors have continuously attempted to add material to the article in the form of dubious claims and posting citations in support of them, which not only do not back up what's being contended by the editors, in the most recent examples they actually specifically refute what is being claimed. I have attempted (at length) both on the discussion page of the article itself and on various talk pages of those making the edits to engage those involved in a discussion regarding these matters. These attempts are simply ignored and the material is fairly consistently reverted without comment on either the articles discussion page or my own talk page. This continues, despite the fact that I have posted specific quotes from the references that are being posted on the articles talk page which clearly demonstrate their complete inappropriateness in this context. Although, I've been attempting to maintain "good faith", it's appearing more likely to me all the time that what's perhaps going on is retaliatory 'tag-teaming' in nature in response to my anti-vandalism activities in other articles.

message: OK folks, we have some issues with this article and opinions on what to do would be helpful.
Currently, the article focuses on the First Nations collectively who are signatories to Treaty 3. The reason for the collective approach is because the Canadian Crown approached the Eastern Saulteaux (i.e. Lac des Bois, Rainy Lake and Rainy River Bands) "... as a Nation...." (Note: the Crown used the singular, not plural.) However, under the current governance system, it is not one Nation but many First Nations. But unlike the historical treaty tribes in the United States, the First Nations in Treaty 3 still closely operates as a near-singlar entity and each of the First Nations therein still behave more as a Band of a Nation rather than a Nation upon themselves. Originally, I had proposed merger of this article with Grand Council of Treaty 3. However, GCT3 as a TPO is council dealing more with a coordinated interaction with the Canadian Crown, government, provinces on a politically, thus not on the peoplehood the article focuses upon. There now is an alternative proposal to "eliminate" this article by growing it to encompass all Anishinaabe First Nations in Canada. Unfortunately, neither sounds like a good solution.

Information needed in the “Ojibwa”, “Oji-Cree” and “Saulteaux” subsections. I can only claim that the Odawa subsection is correct, but it still requires additional information. I changed the “Language” section to the “Anishinaabe Language” section with lotsa new links. Added an "External Links" section and put two links for seed. Did the same for "Further Reading".

thread_title:  In need of a new map of indian reservations in the United States 

message: An editor has made extensive changes to :Sappony which, in part, seem to be trying to add legitimacy to groups that are not recognized as Native American entities by the Federal or state governments. I see many problems with the edits, but don't want to wade into editing the article without a better feel for handling the recently added statements about recognition of Sappony groups. Any opinions or advice? - Donald Albury 22:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
