Federal Indian Law and Policy Literature Review

So, it looks like we've got a couple duplicate topics:
With healthcare/IHS
 * Healthcare Policies (Rochelle Lodgepole) &  Federal Responsibility re Health Care (Julia DeLozier)

And sovereignty:
 * Tribal Cases and Boundaries (Diveena Marcus) &  Supreme Court Cases That Changed Native Soveignty (Emerson Bull Chief)

Off the top of my head, broad topics that aren't covered by our topic distribution include:
 * Applications of the AIRFA and related cultural and religious rights claims
 * Indian Education
 * Indian Gaming
 * IRA (would easily constitute its own section, or could be combined with the reparations acts.)
 * ICWA, family services, and anti-poverty issues
 * Any ideas from others...?


 * Absolutely the correct way to start a talk page. Good job Chris. Remember to sign all your posts with --~ so people know who's talking. Its also a good idea to add this page to your Watchlist so you know when something new is added. --Mike Cline (talk) 09:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Chris, I'd like to include much of your topics listed under my category:

 * I am looking at territories that are not just land issues. Indian territories under trust would be anything that the Federal Government has a trust responsibility towards Indian Nations and usually they are nation (regional based).
 * Such things as intellectual rights, land rights, civil/human rights would be under this topic. I am right now working on my bibliography and summarizing on some of the books written.  All our topics are interrelated.  We may research on an area but they will definitely bleed through so we are helping each other on this.  If I am to look up a topic on the Regulatory ACT it will lead into many other topics, tribal issues and directories on who is gaming etc.  Many topics are based on an Executive Order, Environmental Acts and issues,  and SOVEREIGNTY which continues to change through cases that have to deal with all of these things.
 * I think with the 10 of us we will hit on many subjects and most definitely we'll get to cover alot. Unfortunately I do get your concern...we'll do our best but we won't be able in the few months we have to cover them all. Thanks.

Wikipedia-NAS 530 – Remember Monday’s Goal
NAS 530 Graduate Students. I trust your first couple of weeks of exposure to Wikipedia hasn’t been too traumatic. I seen some good inputs on the course pages. This is just a reminder about our goal for next Monday’s class. We want to have a sufficient number of potential Wikipedia topics identified so that the undergraduates can begin work on their assignments. To that end, I’d like you to accomplish too things before Monday’s class:
 * 1) Any of the work you all have completed should be posted on the Literature Review page. If you are having trouble doing so, please let me know either by email or talk page and I’ll help you get your work posted.  Don’t sweat the formatting, you’ll get the hang of that in time.
 * 2) At the bottom of the literature review page, there are two sections--Potential New Articles and Existing Articles Needing Content.  This is where you should list any article you have identified that needs work or if it doesn’t exist, needs to be created.  Don’t worry about exact titles, just list the things you think need accomplishing.  We will use this list on Monday to start giving undergraduates assignments.  Ideally, we’d like to have 30+ things listed here for Monday.

Again, if you are having any difficulty in posting stuff, don’t hesitate to send me an email or make a post on my talk page or this talk page. Thanks--Mike Cline (talk) 15:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia Campus Ambassador

excellent job adding potential articles
If the article already exists, make sure you get the wikilink correct so we can navigate to the article.Mike Cline (talk) 14:14, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
