Talk:List of Native American tribes

Why Does This Exist?
We have: Why did we need this poorly formatted list? -Harmil 16:36, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Classification of indigenous peoples of the Americas
 * List of Native American Tribal Entities
 * List of Alaska Native Tribal Entities


 * Let me be clearer on that. LoNAmTE and LoNAkTE are lists maintained by the US government (we also have lists of state-recognized-only tribes). CoipotA is North and South American tribal classification scheme. Now, I could certainly see adding a list of indigenous or native peoples for other countries, but on the generic, high-level tribal list front, I think we're already set and this page would seem to be either a mistake (not realizing that the work has already been done) or an attempt to make changes that were or would have been reverted in existing articles. Either way, I think this could really use merging, and I'll note as such.


 * PS: Don't forget, we also have Category:Indigenous peoples of the Americas -Harmil 16:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Since no answer has been forthcoming, I've redirected all of the alphabetical "sub-pages" to this page. There's still the matter, however, of why this has to exist, rather than expanding on any information that Wikipedia already has. -Harmil 21:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

a question
should not the Lumbee Tribe be listed? It does not have federal recognition, but it does have state recognition. This should at least be addressed. --Elizabeth of North Carolina 03:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Tribes?
Only Indians in the US are organized in tribes. Most of the ethnic groups on the list are exactly that: ethnic groups, first nations, indigenous peoples etc. Tribes is not a word to use with native americans outside of the US.--Maunus 20:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion
It would be great if the list would include the state of residence or location information of each tribe/group.--Zereshk 01:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
