We used to display Eagle Feathers here. To prioritize Native cultures, who honor Eagle Feathers as sacred, we have removed them from display. We are working to return them to their Tribe. Have any questions? Just ask us! -Jlynn Del Real #Blackfoot, Yankton, Santee Sioux

I need Lily Gladstone to be nominated for and win the Oscar for Killers of the Flower Moon because on an INSANELY self-centered level I need the first Native actress (or actor!) to win the Oscar to be a Montanan.
#She's not a member of the tribe I grew up right next to#but I spent plenty of time on the Blackfoot reservation#It was where me and Skyline were this summer!

Blackfoot Indians on the roof of the Hotel McAlpin, New York City, 1913. They had the choice of any room in the hotel but instead chose to sleep on the roof. Many had never left the reservation and New York must have been quite a sight. ❤

Abigail "Abby" Prairie Rose Brown Tail "The Spiderwick Chronicles" (OC)
Abigail was born 1890 in Montana on the Blackfoot Reservation
her father was George Brown Tail and her mother was Tamara Brown Tail nee Jones, a black woman.
Her father was young around the time of the Blackfoot massacre.
He however went to travel round and left he reservation and worked in odd jobs and various places: Farms, grocery stores, ect.
He was almost 30, when he met her mother in a Canada and married in 1885 and moved back on his reservation. When he came back to he was defeated at the state of it, he had no clue it would get that bad.
He attempted to farm but it was a sad return every time so as time drew on and more and more changes showed up, he was abhorred and disheartened by the state of the reservation.
Abigail was named after her mother's mother.
They left the reservation in 1898
They moved to the booming Billings, Montana and there she met and made fast friends with Arthur.
He still passed on his Blackfeet culture as much as possible and even her mom gave her some thing she inherited from the tribe.
She was outspoken and Feisty and very smart
she and Arthur made fast friends. they went to the same school together.
They were inseparable. They spent allt he time in the world together. Playing, laughing, eating together, their family got close because if them.
She even brought him on a few visits to his reservation and though them , he learned more about magical creatures and other beings due to Blackfoot tribe stories myths and legends.
Every summer and winter thy'd go back to where he grew up on the reservation on camping trips.
Her moms even though briefly learning herself , showed her what the women taught her
They eventually fell in love and started dating secretly for a year at 17 .
Often hiding to kiss and hold each other behind school, buildings, Their home , behind trees.
He proposed at 18 but their parents made them wait until after college to marry. they agreed.
Her father wasn’t going to give her up easy, Blackfoot tradition says young men wanting to marry have to prove their love in an act of bravery and so he took him on a “hunting” trip. As eventful and entering in the father’s behalf as it was, he didn’t kill anything but he proved his love and he knew he was worthy of his daughter and gave his blessing.
Abby never got to see her wedding day or even the next semester of school, she died from fatal injuries during a train robbery in a local hospital in Wisconsin. her body was buried in an local cemetery.

Here is a brief summary of what is happening in Wikipedia right now:
In the last few years (3-4 years) the WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America, which was originally created to improve the quality and coverage of native issues and native articles on wikipedia, has been hijacked by a small number of users with an extremist agenda. They have been working diligently over the last few years to change the definition of both what it means to be an Indigenous American and even what it means to be state and federally recognized.
The four or five key players (Mainly Editor Yuchitown, Bohemian Baltimore, ARoseWolf, (now retired editor CorbieVreccan, Netherzone and Oncamera) who are part of the “Native American Articles Improvement Project” started implementing these changes slowly, but they started pursuing their goals aggressively after November 2023, when state-recognized tribes retained their voting rights in NCAI. Essentially, after the movement to delegitimize state-recognized tribes failed officially, the key players doubled down on altering and controlling the flow of information about Native Americans through Wikipedia.
The talk page of Lily Gladstone’s article has a relevant discussion here. Initially, the leaders of the WikiProject removed any reference to her being a “Native American Actress” and instead had her as “Self-identifying as Blackfoot” and “Self-identifying as Nez Perce” because her blood quantum was too low to be enrolled in either tribe.
You can see some of the discussion here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lily_Gladstone
Eventually they relented and changed her category to being “Of Nez Perce Descent” but you can see in the discussion that they are referring to an article that these editors (Yuchitown, Bohemian Baltimore, and CorbieVreccan) themselves appeared to have mostly written and revised:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_identity_in_the_United_States
This statement is very much at odds with even the government’s description, as seen below;
The DOJ Office of Tribal Justice Office on their webpage “Frequently Asked Questions About Native American”, question “Who is an American Indian or Alaskan Native” states:
“As a general principle, an Indian is a person who is of some degree Indian blood and is recognized as an Indian by a Tribe and/or the United States. No single federal or tribal criterion establishes a person's identity as an Indian. Government agencies use differing criteria to determine eligibility for programs and services. Tribes also have varying eligibility criteria for membership.”
In addition, “List” pages have been created on Wikipedia for federally and state recognized tribes. The Wikipedia “List” page for state-recognized tribes is inaccurate in its interpretation of state recognition and not supported by expert reliable sources--(1) Cohen’s Handbook of Federal Indian Law 2012 edition, (2) NCSL.org current stand on state recognition (not the archived list from 2017 which NCSL no longer supports), (3) Koenig & Stein’s paper “Federalism and the State Recognition of Native American Tribes: a survey of state-recognized tribes and state recognition processes across the United States” (both 2008 & updated 2013 in book “ Recognition, sovereignty struggles, and indigenous rights in the United States: A sourcebook”)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-recognized_tribes_in_the_United_States
State-recognized tribes who have received recognition through less formal but acceptable means have been moved from the Wikipedia list page on state-recognized tribes to the Wikipedia list page of unrecognized or self-identifying organizations.
The Wiki page "List of organizations that self-identify as Native American tribes", in particular, is being used to purposely defame legitimate Native American individuals who are members of the tribes/Native communities that are on this list.
By the parameters set up on Wikipedia, only the colonizer’s governments can acknowledge who is Native American through either federal recognition or state recognition. If an individual is not a member of a federally or state-recognized tribe, then it is determined that they cannot be Native American and are, instead, considered “self-identifying” or only “a descendant of ...” (example Lily Gladstone). As a result, Native individuals are currently being tagged as “self-identifying” and their names are put on “list” pages that strongly imply they are “pretend” Indians.
These editors have indicated that they would like “self-identification” to be the default setting for any people who they deem do not fit within the parameters that they themselves created within Wikipedia.
Moreof, these editors are admin and senior editors within the Wikiproject Indigenous Peoples of North America, and are being called in specifically to weigh on Native Identity, and any project involving any Indigenous Group.
Any attempt to correct misinformation, add information, or change any of these articles is often met with being blocked, reported for various offenses, or reported for having a Conflict of Interest, whether or not that is actually applicable. They have use this strategically in many different pages for many different individuals and groups within the scope of their Wikiprojects.
While changing things in Wikipedia does not change the truth, it is a way to control how most people take in information, and thus they hope to manipulate the narrative to better suit their goals.
This is quick and messy but:
Here is a link to the google document with the other state recognized tribes (Including yours) that were edited by these editors. This is an incomplete list so far that only goes back to September 2023 but I am going to add to it. If you can add to your own part of this list, and send your complaints and information to the arbitrator committee (the email is below) with the involved editors, this will help our case.
The more tribes who complain, and the more Wikipedia editors complain, the better our case will be.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YNDEjLTrrZ_mMIRCVxtvt69FwCYpJWKs71lBhWa5a9M/edit?usp=sharing
The place to make complaints on Wikipedia is oversight-en-wpwikipedia.org , and
arbcom-enwikimedia.org . It is most helpful to have an editing account on Wikipedia, because Yuchitown and the others will try to defend themselves using Wikipedia methodology and make anyone who confronts them look like the aggressor (see the other tribes who tried to fight back on Wikipedia I found).
The more people and tribes make complaints the more likely it is that this will work and we can rid ourselves of these monsters.
Some of the tribes I have spoken to are taking legal action against these editors. Any groups affected by their policies should also reach out to the news to make knowledge of this more widespread.
Thank you
