 * That the new Sachem award is a "higher honor" than the Sagamore, as the article currently states.

Changes
I've made quite a few changes to the article, and I thought I'd explain why here. For one, I've changed the wording of the list to note that it is a partial list of notable recipients. I did this because this list would otherwise be thousands of people long (and there is no list of total recipients). I also went through and tried to find a reference for each and every person on the list. Those for which I could find no reference I placed a citation needed tag next to the name. If anyone can find references for these people, please add them, otherwise after a period of time I believe the names should be removed from the list, as they are either not notable enough for even a minor mention in a local newspaper, or they may simply be people adding their name to the list. Either way, without even the most liberal proof that they recieved the award (some of the references were simply 'about us' pages on a bank site, for example, as it was all I could find) there's no way to verify the information. Thank you. - SudoGhost (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your work, this list was unreferenced and now is better. Good work.--Yopie (talk) 22:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Jim Davis
The article about Jim Davis (cartoonist) says under Awards "1988 - Sagamore of the Wabash - State of Indiana". The sources I found speak only of Davis′ creation Garfield receiving the award: here, here and here. Does somebody know more about that? Regards, Gott (talk) 18:21, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup
I think this page needs further cleanup; this award is given so often that listing each and every person that receives it seems impractical. Other awards typically list "notable recipients", meaning individuals who have received the award and were covered in third-party sources in some way. Aside from the obits that aren't third-party, we have Facebook posts and community newsletters and those don't show that they are notable recipients, and aren't reliable sources at any rate. - Aoidh (talk) 22:08, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Mario Rodriguez
I removed this entry because there is no article for this person, the Mario Rodriguez wikilink is for a disambiguation page of several people with that name. If this is a notable person, an article should be created for this person before being added. - Aoidh (talk) 21:12, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
