[edit] To do to improve

This article could be greatly expanded. For example, where and when born and died would be nice. I looked for some sources and I can find sources which verify his position, but no other information in English about him --- Deville (Talk) 03:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I've added in his name and added a category showing his death year. However, more is needed. Here are some basics that would greatly improve:

• birth and death dates (other than the death year I placed in the Category)
• childhood family and education
• how was it that he was nominated and then appointed by Truman?
• what impact did he have on the Cherokee Nation as an appointed Principal Chief?
• what lead to the reforms under him?
• what lead to his election as Principal Chief?
• what is the legacy he leaves behind, not only for the Cherokee Nation but also for all of Indian Country and the United States?
• a little bit on his family would be nice
• photo available?
• any memorable quotes?
• did he write essays, articles and books? -- if he did, a bibliography would be good
• in-line citation
• references (both the ones in English and in Tsalagi) -- be sure to note (chr) if the source is in Tsalagi
• more Categories (appropriate ones, of course)

Please cross off the list as they have been completed. Thanks. CJLippert 14:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
