Review

Hi Shawn,

Wow, you have put in so much work to your page! I wanted you give you a review, because I see you did not receive peer reviews. I just have a few suggestions. If you do not have time to implement them today, that is ok. Since I am giving you short notice before the deadline, if you complete the edits by April 16, I will still count them in your final grade.

The main issue right now is that your page is "an orphan." You need to nest it under other page directories. You can get some ideas about how to do that on the Help:Link page.

Also, your section on the Sixth National Tribal Nations Conference is very short. Could you include detailed information about the events ?

Some of your references are not properly formatted. If you look at that part of the page, you will see Wikipedia highlighted that in red. Please fix that.

Thanks for all your hard work on this page. Banksel (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some additional comments: -these two sentences are in passive voice "Obama has been praised by many tribal leaders who claim he has done more for Native Americans than all of his predecessors combined.[1] This has not protected Obama from criticism from Native communities, however, as evidenced by the existence of groups such as Native Americans Against Obama. " Rewrite to make it clear WHO is doing the praising and WHO is doing the criticizing -what do we know about the outcomes of Executive Order 13592 and the new education policies? Who has supported/criticized them? Has implementation been easy or difficult? Why? I have similar questions about the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 and the health care initiatives
