Currently the Battle of Mackinac Island in 1814 has two suggestions. One to break up the sections more, which has been made into two separate pages, the Siege of 1812 and the Battle of Mackinac Island in 1814. So this suggestion has been tended to. One improvement that could be made to this article would be to specify "Native American" in the article to the actual tribes that fought in the War with the British. Although many people like to lump together all Native Americans, there are many distinct tribes with different motives to join the War of 1812. The current summary is non-existent, while both the British and American strategies get their own paragraph on strategies, the Native American Leaders did not get their own paragraph in the Wikipedia entry. However, they did make a contribution to the War and they cannot be lumped in with the British fighters are they are their own people. From What I have researched it seems to be the Odawa and Ojibwe tribes who aligned with the British (https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/history/traditional-societies/mackinac-island-finally-telling-native-side-history/). These tribes need a better paragraph on the Battle of Mackinac Island Wiki page for their contribution to the War.

Another possible topic could be Jean-Baptiste Assiginack, who currently has a bio that contains the phrase "is thought to have been at." There is blatant ambiguity in the post. Assiginack was an influential player in the War of 1812, however his page mostly focuses on his conversion to Catholicism. According to (https://libguides.lib.msu.edu/c.php?g=95603&p=624368) the Michigan State history Department, Assiginack was a great orator and this was very influential in persuading the Ojibwe Tribe to enter the War of 1812. This page needs to be added to, so that he is honored for more than his conversion to Catholicism.

William Jones, is another page that needs to be added to on Wikipedia. He was the Secretary of the Navy, but only has a minor shoutout especially in regards to the War of 1812. I want to research the impact of his strategy on the war, especially in regards to his impetuous for battles to be fought on the Great Lakes. Not only, is there only one sentence on this in the "Battle of Mackinac" page. His page dedicated to him was a vague outline of his life and career, with little detail on what he actually accomplished in his life. My main goal for these entries is to make them more detailed and less vague.
