[edit] Indians

Hey amigo. I just wanted to say that I've noticed the work you've been doing on articles about Indigenous peoples of Mexico, and to express my appreciation. Are you getting your info from the Paul Kirchoff book? At any rate, good work, and keep it up. If you have any problems or questions, be sure to let me know and I'll help out any way I can.--Rockero 19:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Indians I do not know who Paul Kirchoff is so that would be a no. Should I look into this book? Yes I have been working hard on various tribes of the Chichimeca Nation. Its just that everywhere I look I never seem to find that much info. about them, so why not put that info. myself, a direct descendent of them. I do have various books and I also spent a long time researching them on the internet(both English & Spanish search engines). Thats how I get my information. Hey I still dont know how to contact other people, is this how you do it? I think I find out if I dont get a message back.--Manny 22:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Manny. Yes, this is how you contact other wikipedians, by making a comment or asking a question on their talkpage. If you didn't answer here, you could have responded on my talkpage by clicking on my name and then clicking the "dicussion" tab at the top of the page (user pages, like article pages, have an associated talkpage).

About Kirchoff, I have his name in my notes (which are not that well-organized) as the author of a recent book on the indigenous peoples of Northern Mexico. Now that I look back into it, however, I think I must have had the wrong name, because Kirchoff's work is pretty old. I'll see if I can find the author I was thinking of and I'll let you know.--Rockero 21:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter - July '06

The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal The Indigenous Peoples of North America Portal has been established, as a starting point for those wishing to learn more about the subject, with information and links on a wide variety of issues. It also contains news regarding the continent's various tribes and nations. It's a graphically pleasing site, and everyone is encouraged to check it out. Home Page Reorganization The project's home page has a new design, featuring tabbed subpages on participants, templates, articles, categories, and the to do list. Article Classification Move The Article Classification lists have been moved to their own subpage due to size. This is a sign of progress in the ongoing work of this project. New Talk Page Template The project's talk page template has been updated, along with the classification system, to include the assessment on the talk pages of the articles that have been classified and assessed.

Balance As the Project reaches its first six months of activity, the great effort all of you have invested in it has turned the vast information available on Indigenous North American topics from a deorganized cumulous into an excellent and easy to consult database. Although much work is still in order, few WikiProjects are able to obtain the amazing results we are proud to show today. To all of you, thank you and congratulations! What You Can Do to Help The assessment of articles within the scope of the project is still an ongoing process. We need people to help in this who are not contributors to the articles they are assessing. Also, there is the ongoing need for identifying and cataloguing articles that fall within the scope of this project. As of today, nearly 1,500 have been identified within the Project's scope.
