Option 1

 * Article title
 * Mille Lacs Indians


 * Article Evaluation
 * There are very large chunks of information with absolutely no citations. Also, some of the sentences seem to not be neutral in their stance.

Ice fishing communities on Mille Lacs Lake; Research confirms Native American use of sweetgrass as bug repellent ; Recognizing and Preserving Native American Treaty Usufructs in the Supreme Court: the Mille Lacs Case; Teaching Mille Lacs Band Youth the Ojibwe Language to Foster a Stronger Sense of Cultural Identity and Sovereignty.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Mohawk Warrior Society


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is poorly populated. It also has a non-neutral tone; I have read some about this society and the language in this article makes it seem as if they are violent peoples. It has tones of xenophobia.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Moxviquil


 * Article Evaluation
 * There isn't very much information. It is actually pretty well-cited, but there is only one paragraph. It very briefly mentions the historical importance of the site, but that is it. There isn't much to comment on because there is at most 6 sentences. They are all well-cited.

Option 5
