When archived July 2013 there were 17 sections, earliest 2005 and not in sequence, with a couple of 2013 comments but no new section since April 2012. --P64 (talk) 21:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

more info re "banning"
should add more info to clarify that nobody really objected to alexie's books per se. As Read Banned Books (http://www.politics-prose.com/book-notes/read-banned-books-lone-ranger-and-tonto-fistfight-heaven-sherman-alexie) it was just swept up with everything else they didn't want taught anymore.

Specific enrollment isn't clear
Which nation or nations is Sherman Alexie enrolled with? The article makes no mention of it. I thought he was enrolled with the Spokane Tribe. The article only said that his father "was a member of the Coeur d'Alene tribe, and his mother, Lillian Agnes Cox, was of Colville, Choctaw, Spokane and European American ancestry." I changed it to say "Coeur d'Alene father and Spokane mother" after finding another source. It is my impression that he belongs to his mother's Spokane Tribe, but better sources are needed.

His official Instagram says "Enrolled member of the Spokane Tribe of Indians". I don't think that's a usable source though. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 09:11, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's the Spokane Tribe of the Spokane Reservation. I provided citations for him and his wife. Their identities are uncontested. Yuchitown (talk) 19:27, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown
 * Thank you. I didn't think Alexie wasn't enrolled. Just trying to clarify the exact enrollment for people who are clearly Native and have ancestry from multiple nations. That ancestry can be listed as descent. There are many articles for Native Americans that don't specify, but ideally should. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 21:11, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
