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)
