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 to evaluate this article because it provides a background for the generational trauma. Coming from a reservation, this is something that is relevant to native american people due to the history of genocide and trauma that has happened.

The lead section of the article does include a brief description on what will be talked about the most. The article does include some background information on other groups that have generational trauma. The lead section is also concise and clear with information. The article was published in 2019, so it is up to date. Every point had been described in a was described accurately. The article does not attempt to persuade others from one position or another, its intent and purpose is to inform. The facts in the article are backed up by reliable sources, and secondary sources in the bottom where her citations are. They are reliable sources. I did find a few other sources that also would be able to use that are more in depth. The article is also clear and, and easy to read to me. I am not well with grammar so I would not be able to answer that, however i do not see any spelling errors. There were no images for this article. I think the overall status of the article is good, the strengths would be that the author has reliable sources. I am unsure of what could be improved, however i do not know what could be improved because to me it seems like a solid article.
