Edit Indians of [State] Pages, As Needed

Add Links
Many of the pages on the Research Wiki need internal links added, inter-linking them to one another. As you contribute information to the various types of pages, watch for those needed links and add them.

Brief Timelines
On each tribal page, we want to provide the user with a brief timeline of the events experienced by the tribe which affected the records kept, the jurisdictions involved in recording those events, and the locations of records today. The events that should be included are such things as the signing of treaties, the removal (movement) of a tribe to a new location, their placement on a reservation, establishment of tribal government, church missions established for the tribe, etc.
