Charmed, no doubt. Anything coherent to actually say?--cjllw | TALK 12:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

HOW DARE YOU! ALTHOUGH I'M NOT THE PERSON WHO YOU OFFENDED, IT STABS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT YOU STOMPED ON SOMEONE, OF WHO, IN YOUR OPINION, THINK IS LESS THAN YOU. YOU ARE NOW THE LOWLIFE, TO JUDGE AND THINK SOMONE IS WORTHLESS, BECAUSE OF WHAT OR HOW THEY SAID IT.

Well. I'm quite mystified at the vehemence of your tone here, repeated at my talk page - any opinions you seek to ascribe to me are of your own making, for you've no information on what they may be, one way or another. If you think I was being rude to someone who (unprompted) ventured comments like 'you guys suck' and invited contributors to 'go take a hike', then your shouted admonishment hardly seems a model of restraint, either. --cjllw | TALK 04:05, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm sorry you've been so disillusioned because you've been stuck in your ivory tower for so long. You know, there's actually a world out there, but I guess you wouldn't know it if it hit you in the face. You don't know who the person is, maybe the person was younger, but in any case, the language that he/she used as totally appropriate; for her/his culture, [s]he's a young person, could you expect any more of her/him?

68.148.165.213 15:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Enough of the stereotypical character analyses, please, you've no idea about my experience and motivation, either. And not every young person does or needs to converse in the manner of the original anon contributor, so your claim that it's "culturally-appropriate" is misplaced.--cjllw | TALK 00:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging with First Nations, Aboriginal peoples in Canada, Native Americans in the United States and Indigenous peoples of the Americas

These distinctions are only political, maybe it might be required to make the distinctions in the merged article, but defintely not by separting these & each of these articles. And if there are any articles along these lines please merge them.

It seems to me that the articles were separted [if they were once a single article] because the how First Nations were treated differently in US & in Canada. If that was the reason the article was broken up, then the article title is off. I should be The Treatment Of First Nations In Canada, & The Treatment of First Nations In US.

Also, First Nations Land Claims [it should also be renamed as] is a fundamental part of the history & politcal landscape of the First Nations; it just makes sense that it should merged with the article.withdrawn68.148.165.213 15:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Do not merge, the geographic relevance of Aboriginal land claims goes well beyond North America. Paul foord 15:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

O ok, right I guess in Austrailia they do that. Sorry, stuck in Canada.:-(

[edit] Improving Article

What are some ways we could improve this article. If it is to be inclusive of Indigenous peoples from around the world, let's expand on the issues for each area. My suggestions for improv the article are: 1.) Expand on Land claims in Canada, Aotearoa, and Australia. There are probably more area's, but I knew little about Mexico and Central America. 2.) More info on what land claims is, pertaining to colonial law in these nation-states, along with the Indigenous nations within those colonial states. I can't seem to think of anything else, but is there anything else we can do to fix this article? OldManRivers 21:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
