Wikipedia:Meetup/Minnesota/Minneapolis/Native American Artists Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon/Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia)

Join us in honoring Native American artists whose work is represented in Mia's collections by creating or enhancing Wikipedia articles. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, this event is a great way to make new friends, have fun, and learn something new, while adding content about Native American artists to Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia.
