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 Wikimedia Commons. I've tried to write about California and Great Basin tribes as well.

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

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...)!

		All-Around Amazing Barnstar
		What wonderful ideas you have. Thank you for your significant formatting and updates to Waano-Gano's page, thus making the article so much more readable and usable. You provide insightful, honorable, significant, and enlightening contributions for all to learn more about native people. Tikihouse (talk) 21:56, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
