Review of Native American profile

+6 votes

I have just finished fleshing out the profiles of Chief Patkanim and his daughter, Elizabeth, of the Pacific Northwest Snoqualmie tribe. I came across these individuals while researching one of their notable descendants, Disney legend Ginny Taylor. Because I am far from an expert on Native American heritage, I would appreciate someone following up behind me to ensure that I have used appropriate vocabulary and naming practices, and that I have told their stories respectfully. Please feel free to make any changes you deem fit.

Nice work, David.

I added his tribe name to the sticker.

I also modified his name fields. His name was Pat-ka-nam and that should be used and not broken apart into separate pieces.

The protocol on WikiTree for Native Americans born before their adoption of surnames is to use the last name at birth field to record their tribe name. So you should change his LNAB to Snoqualmie.

I re-added the references tag under Sources; its presence is required in order to display inline citations that may be added at a later date.

Thanks Jillaine. You'll note that I am not the manager of the profile so I can't change the last name, but I will notify the mangar and offer her the suggestion. I knew the naming format used was incorrect, but didn' t want to reach out to her until I new what the correct format was.
