Project: First Peoples

Categories: First Peoples Project | First Peoples



The First Peoples Project is a "Top-Level" project that serves as a central repository and directory for all those projects and sub-projects that have a direct relationship to First Peoples around the world.

First Peoples Project

The mission of the project is to add and improve profiles of First Peoples, create genealogies and relevant free-space pages about the history of all Indigenous Peoples. Project members take primary responsibility for relevant profiles or family groups and work on merging duplicates, cleaning up profiles, adding sources, removing incorrect information and offer research assistance as needed.[1]
