Gender roles among the Indigenous peoples of North America

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I find it to be the most interesting topic out of the articles that I found. Studying Native American gender roles is important to gender theory at large because it demonstrates how gender expression can vary among cultures. It also seemed to have a wide variety of related sources to draw from online.

The introduction is brief and could use an expansion. The information in the introduction is accurate but the tone is not totally neutral and it is short. The content seems to be up to date, especially considering that it covers a distant part of American history. The sources that the article relies on come from authoritative sources and are generally up to date. The article is fairly easy to read, but the section feel very brief and underdeveloped. While the article does contain two images, they are not extremely relevant to the content discussed in the text and do little to add clarity to the article. The talk page is very critical of the article, suggesting that improvement may already be underway. Overall, the article maintains a neutral tone and contains reliable information, but the sections are too short and it doesn't dive deeply into the complex gender identities of Native Americans.
