[edit] Comment

I got here via the "Random article" method - so I want to mention my first impressions. Being British I have little knowledge of Native American culture/terminology, and I guessed that the article related to this group. This was only confirmed by the Project logo on this page. I have not been able to navigate to other language articles within the project so am unable to determine if this article is within a standard format. My point is that the term Native American (or any other phrase) is not mentioned within the article, and thus assumes too much prior knowledge for English readers outside of the USA. This may need addressing in this (and any other similar) article.LessHeard vanU 21:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
