Content of the report itself[edit]

I added some of the content of the report itself, but am concerned that the presentation comes off as biased. Suggestions on rephrasing/rewording? Cartographique (talk) 02:41, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinks[edit]

Given the importance of the report to federal Indian policy, there should probably be separate articles on Lewis Meriam, certainly, as well as other team members, who represented contemporary expertise in their fields. So I have made wikilinks for each of these, as a way of pointing to future articles. Parkwells (talk) 17:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and body[edit]

Have reworked some of this, adding content to show significance of report, as well as generally used titles for institutions, and to better show that the gov't (DOI) commissioned the report through Brookings. Parkwells (talk) 17:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
