Talk:Indigenous Environmental Network

Untitled
Everything in this article is well-referenced, including articles from the relatively recent past (Dakota Access Pipeline news article). Everything is relevant to the groups initiatives and goals, but lacks any organization, which was distracting in reading the article. There was so separation between different sections which made reading a little jumpy. More history would be useful in understanding the group, but the main goals of the group and some projects they had been involved in were were laid-out. The sources worked great and were reliable! Just organization and some background history is needed. Jmgregory13 (talk) 18:13, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Clarification regarding IEN representation
The lead lacks clarity in relation to who IEN represents. While activists are described as being 'primarily' located in the US – implying that some activists, and therefore some represented peoples, are outside the US – the opening paragraph refers to representation for 'Native Americans'. 'Native Americans' implies that Inuit people based in the US and Canada are not represented, and also excludes indigenous peoples from Central and South America. For the broadest interpretation, try 'first nations people of the Americas'. If representation is restricted to people within the US or North America, try 'first nations people of the United States' or 'first nations people of North America' respectively.

Capitalization
Terms such as 'indigenous', 'nation' and 'first nations' are not capitalized unless they form part of a proper noun, such as in the title of a legislative instrument or treaty. Editors can familiarize themselves with the Wikipedia Manual of Style (MOS) to develop an understanding of appropriate capitalization — a good introduction to the MOS can be found in the Simplified Manual of Style.

Ties to environmental justice movement

 * 'Ties to the environmental justice movement' does not seem the most logical item to begin the [History] section with. This could form part of a separate environmental justice section or a section on links and collaboration with other movements, however this content should not be merged with items currently listed under 'Environmental justice', as that section in its current form is more akin to a 'notable achievements' or 'key initiatives' section.
 * Clearly describe or make reference to the distinction between Native American reservations and First Nations reserves.
