Style question

"Also" in the lead

Are Alaska Native tribal entities federally recognized tribes?

Why is the displayed text of the wikilink "tribes" instead of "entities"?

Yes, Alaska Native tribal entities are federally recognized tribes. Tribes is a far more specific term than entities. Yuchitown (talk) 23:32, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

Infographic: Where are the Five Tribes?

The map used on this page is missing at least the Cherokee, Seminole, Muskogee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Nations in Eastern Oklahoma. Probably missing others too.

if there’s a reason for excluding these from the infographic, then the article should explain that somewhere. 72.107.246.64 (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
