The following pertains to profiles of Native Americans / American Indians who lived in what is now the continental US, Hawaii or Alaska.
The best way to add a Native American category to a documented Native American is to use the sticker underneath the == Biography == header:
(Inside double curly brackets; remove spaces on either side of vertical bar):
Native American Sticker | tribe=NameOfTribe
Example: Native American Sticker|tribe=Wampanoag
This will generate a tribal category. (Do not use the word "Tribe" or "Nation" after the tribe or nation name.)
If the tribe name is not known, please consider using the Heritage sticker:
Heritage Sticker|ancestors=Native American|imagetext=Tree silhouette
(This sticker does not generate a category. Use either Category:American_People_of_Native_American_Descent or one of its sub categories)
Please do NOT use either Category:Native Americans or Native American Sticker by itself.
Category:Native Americans is a high level category that should not be used on profiles of individuals. (It may be used on Free space pages.)
