The following sample tables are copied from Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America and are recommended for transferring the list on the obverse page into, to provide systematic coordination of various articles needing writing or review. I don't have time or I'd transfer some of the things listed in "Tasks" into tables like this, with each of the sections overleaf forming one table maybe (or by any theme, actually; e.g. parks and protected areas, industry and commerce, population and ethnography, geography and so on. Just above the tables on the Indigenous project page there are also a visual cataloguing of all the stubs related to the project.Skookum1 16:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

These are all going to get very large; as they do, I suggest we move them to sandbox pages off this one....Skookum1 17:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
