Category talk:American Indian music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Canada

We've already been through this in numerous other debates: it is not considered appropriate to subsume Canadian First Nations into the term "American Indian". There is already a separate category for Category:First Nations music. The categories can both be applied to native peoples whose lands cross the Canada-US border, but for native peoples whose lands are exclusively in Canada, this category is not to serve as a replacement for Category:First Nations music.

If somebody would like to unite them, I'd strongly suggest a general, neutrally-named North American parent category in which both Category:American Indian music and Category:First Nations music would continue to exist as subcategories, but the Canadian category will absolutely not be merged wholesale into this one.
