Article Evaluation

Article Name: Native Americans in the United States.

This article contains a vast amount of content covering the history and culture of Native Americans in the United States. One thing I feel needs improvement in this article is the history of Native Americans before European colonizers stepped foot in the Americas, as a large chunk of the article speaks of Native Americans in a postcolonial setting, rather than speaking of the history that existed long before contact with Europeans was made. Another improvement I would like to see with the article is in regards to Native Americans in the 20th and 21st century. These two periods combined make up more than 100 years of time, yet only make up a small chunk of the actual article. The section on trauma can also be expanded as the article lists many issues Native Americans face, both in the past and today, but lists very little about the traumatic implications of these issues.
