My edit: Native American is a construct of the government of the United States edit
Doug Weller (talk · contribs) and Oncamera (talk · contribs) This comes from the article “Indigenous peoples of the Americas”: …the United States government responded by proposing the use of the term "Native American"… It isn’t my creation, although the wording might be imperfect.
I wasn’t able to verify the reference “The Production of Legal Identities Proper to States: The Case of the Permanent Family Surname”. It seemed suspicious so I didn’t include it immediately. No references are given for the other items in the list.
Mea culpa. Someone else can add that clarification if they want. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 20:11, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
First Americans edit
The First Americans Museum in Oklahoma, which tells the story of the tribal nations from their own perspective, states the following for the term “First Americans”:
“We were the first on this land, though the last to gain US citizenship. This is an emerging term that differentiates our Indigenous people from descendants of settler communities.”
Is that a sufficient source to add a section here about the term? Taste of Independence (talk) 03:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- That is about one museum's naming decision which is barely commented on in First Americans Museum. Does not seem noteworthy or significant enough to add to this article. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 05:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
