Merging with First Nations, Aboriginal peoples in Canada, Native Americans in the United States and Indigenous peoples of the Americas[edit]

These distinctions are only political, maybe it might be required to make the distinctions in the merged article, but defintely not by separting these & each of these articles. And if there are any articles along these lines please merge them.

It seems to me that the articles were separted [if they were once a single article] because the how First Nations were treated differently in US & in Canada. If that was the reason the article was broken up, then the article title is off. I should be The Treatment Of First Nations In Canada, & The Treatment of First Nations In US.

Also, First Nations Land Claims [it should also be renamed as] is a fundamental part of the history & politcal landscape of the First Nations; it just makes sense that it should merged with the article.withdrawn68.148.165.213 15:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not merge, the geographic relevance of Aboriginal land claims goes well beyond North America. Paul foord 15:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

O ok, right I guess in Austrailia they do that. Sorry, stuck in Canada.:-(

Improving Article[edit]

What are some ways we could improve this article. If it is to be inclusive of Indigenous peoples from around the world, let's expand on the issues for each area. My suggestions for improv the article are: 1.) Expand on Land claims in Canada, Aotearoa, and Australia. There are probably more area's, but I knew little about Mexico and Central America. 2.) More info on what land claims is, pertaining to colonial law in these nation-states, along with the Indigenous nations within those colonial states. I can't seem to think of anything else, but is there anything else we can do to fix this article? OldManRivers 21:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
