Class project

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill a group of students in the first-year seminar: Cultures of Dissent seek to fill in the holes in the information on the web about the American Indians and the law.

Students who will be contributing 

kay kay - sovereignty

mk - voting

andrew - gaming

brooklyn - religion

erin - fishing & hunting

A worthy topic, and one which will be interesting to read, however we don't need a description of what you plan to do on the article page. I would suggest putting together a quick summary of the issues, citing one or two sources, to hold the page. srushe (talk) 13:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to stop by and say good work so far. Keep it going :) srushe (talk) 20:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
If one of the students would contact me via my user talk page or via email, I will send a free copy of my book, Wikipedia - The Missing Manual, which could help new editors with the technicalities and procedures of Wikipedia. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 20:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

AIRR Section

This is a pure copypaste from the website. This needs to be re-written, or removed. Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 15:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The current Religious movements have been removed until further reworking. --:) Bbsteph (talk) 14:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Kawaiisu

I removed the following passage from User:Kawaiisu, which had been inserted into the lede. There are multiple problems with it, it flowed poorly, and in fact may be misleading—they are by no means the only tribe to have had their treaty with the U.S. broken, nor the only one to have been enslaved. Furthermore, none of this negates the sentence immediately preceding it, that they’re an exception to the “particular tension between rights granted via tribal sovereignty and rights that individual Indians retain as U.S. citizens.”

Although this is not true in California for one Tribe, the Kawaiisu Tribe of Tejon. They signed a Treaty with the United States on Dec. 30, 1849 which was ratified on Sept. 9, 1850. They were held as property (Slaves) and sold as such under the California Law for the protection of California Indians 1850, amended 1860. Citizenship was not given until 1957, under the california law of voting rights. To this day, the United States has not upheld our Treaty with them. The Kawaiisu rights under the Treaty are Hunting and Fishing, Land was never ceded, Mineral Rights, and Water Rights,and the Right to be Self-Governing. This is a battle still in the Federal Courts (Salazar vs. Kawaiisu Tribe of Tejon).

If someone else knows more about this case or wants to do more research I have no problem with this information being incorporated per se, but I fear this particular tribe—unfortunately—is by no means a unique enough case to warrant a specific mention. —Wiki Wikardo 05:36, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Midterm Election Section Edit

I removed the section on the 2018 midterm election. Although there was some potentially helpful information, absolutely none of the information was cited. It is difficult to verify many of the claims made within the section. In fact, much of the writing itself seemed to be copied and pasted from a single NPR article [1]. If that specific incidence is deemed to be of historical importance, I would suggest that it be shortened, written (not copied directly from an article), cited properly, and placed underneath the "voting" section. 98.226.126.82 (talk) 00:09, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

  • "Rights" is a larger category than "civil rights" which includes group rights and other claim rights not thought of as civil rights. The article as it currently stands includes info on some of these (e.g. Fishing and hunting rights) as well as civil rights. Therefore, the current title is not entirely accurate. However, I would like to hear from other users before supporting a move. Should the article's scope be limited to civil rights? —  AjaxSmack  23:10, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
  • I would suggest keep the current title but break out the sections on fishing and hunting rights and land rights into a separate article, linked from a hatnote or see also section. bd2412 T 15:31, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
