Mia, you win the absolute prize for having one of the hardest subjects to research, and yet doing such a thorough job. Don't be alarmed, but I'm going to be making some aggressive edits to your page. I'm also going to try to mail you some additional articles to incorporate.71.234.138.228 (talk) 10:48, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

^^Sorry, that was me, forgetting to log in. I wonder if you should reorganize this a bit. It might be better to make it short and absolutely thoroughly sourced, rather than worrying about section breaks and sub-headings. Start with her work as Nipmuc chief (you're still doing hyperlinks wrong, but you probably know that); and then also mention that she has had a long career as historian, in which capacity she has done a good deal of writing and public speaking. I also think you should save what you've already got here in a Word Document before we do any more editing--much of it will be good for indigenousnewengland.com, though not for Wikipedia. Finally, I think you need to really read that Thomas Doughton essay, and also Rae Gould's essay in Jean O'Brien, ed., Recognition, Sovereignty Struggles and Indigenous Rights; it's going to give you helpful context. Looking at the Wikipedia entry on Nipmuc (which is hugely problematic), I anticipate we are going to have some battles with this one.Ssenier (talk) 11:04, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
