Oklahoma Land run of 1892 (Needs more info):

 * This land run is a good Wiki article because it is important to Oklahoma and United States history as it is one of the last land runs held and the first to take place after the government announced it would no longer hold land runs. The article on Wikipedia is considered to be of high importance and is only rated as a start. It needs additional information and sources to round it out as a good Wikipedia article. One addition to the article that could help round it out could be the information on post-civil war treaties with Creek and Seminole nations that directly affected the lands held for this land run.

Ote Emathla (no page):

 * Ote Emathla has no page on Wikipedia but was a figure that is important to the indigenous North American Wiki project as a Seminole leader. Emathla was not a chief but was an advisor to an important chief and the father of another chief. He held important roles in many battles during the Seminole wars. As a leader and important contributor to many battles, his story is missing from Wikipedia and would be an important addition to the scarce number of Native histories. :

Timpoochee Barnard: (no page)

 * Timpoochee Barnard was the leader of Yuchi Creek during the Creek Wars in fighting against the Red Stick Creeks. He does not have a Wiki page but is listed as a priority name for the Indigenous North American Wiki Project. He was an important signature on many treaties; he was also crucial to the battle of Calebee Creek. As a leader and warrior, his story should be added to indigenous histories on Wikipedia.:

Lozen (Apache) (Needs more info)

 * Lozen would make a good article because she was an important figure in Native American history, especially to the Apache nation and to women's history. Lozen’s page is rated as a start and is important to women and indigenous North American wiki projects. The article lacks sources and information on Lozen’s life, prophecies, and contributions to her nation. The article offers little to no information on her prophecies, which the fleeing Apaches credited as a large factor in their ability to evade the United States military infantry for so long. Some of the sources lack reliability and the talk page mentions a concern that the content sounds more like hero worship than valid neutral information. :
