[edit] Odoodemimazininii

Instead of a large photograph of each of the doodem representatives, it might be wise to show the typical odoodemimazininii used on contemporary and past doodem markers on grave sites as well as the treaty signatories' odoodemimazininii. CJLippert 15:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Good call, do you know if there are any on wiki? I still don't really understand the fair use stuff, so I tend to avoid it entirely.

[edit] Kinship

I have just added a link to Rand's site that serves as an intro to kinship terms with how they relate to doodem. Since "a picture's worth a thousand words" in the next several weeks, I'll put together a graphic in the manner of the kinship system charts based on Rand's graphics. Give me a nudge if nothing seems to be happening by mid-February. CJLippert 23:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation questions

[edit] Sparrowhawk

In the section Anishinaabe_clan_system#Baswenaazhi_group, the term sparrowhawk is included. This link leads to a disambiguation page. Could some knowledgeable person edit this link so it leads to a proper article? Thanks. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Did the dab help or would you like to have sparrowhawk narrowed down even more? CJLippert 20:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for disambiguating the term. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:10, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable clans section

I don't think the section is necessary, but the infomation could go with Clan totems and illustrated. I started the Moose/Marten group and will work at it.Leo1410 (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
