[[Watkins-7379|Watkins-7379]] 00:52, 20 January 2022 (UTC) * Create categories that reflect the preferred names of nations and that are consistent across Canada. [[Watkins-7379|Watkins-7379]] 00:52, 20 January 2022 (UTC) * Create profiles for notable Indigenous Canadians and link these to the main tree. [[Watkins-7379|Watkins-7379]] 20:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC) * Recruit more Indigenous members to contribute to the project. [[Watkins-7379|Watkins-7379]] 20:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC) * Collaborate with Indigenous communities to document family lines. This might involve partnerships with people in the communities (whether WT members or not), documenting families from published works, online workshops and more. [[Watkins-7379|Watkins-7379]] 20:05, 21 January 2022 (UTC) *Establish teams to work on specific goals. For example, a Notables Team, a Categories Team, a Sourcerers Team, etc. Create them as needed, rather than have a bunch of empty teams. [[Crawford-15512|Crawford-15512]] 04:16, 22 January 2022 (UTC) *Create an Introduction to the Project document that can be provided to new members when they join. [[Crawford-15512|Crawford-15512]] 04:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC) *Establish guidelines explicitly prohibiting the use of generic "native american" stock photos [[Adkins-Langen-1|Adkins-Langen-1]] 02:44, 24 January 2022 (UTC) *Establish guidelines regarding LNAB for Indigenous profiles who don't have a western last name. We can copy the guidelines used by the Native American project, wherein we use the tribe or nation name as LNAB, however we should clarify that this should only be done if we are 100% certain of their tribal identity or belonging (many tribal/nation affiliations are based on assumptions, not actual fact). If the tribe/nation is not certain Unknown should still be used. Also explicitly ban the use of "Amerindian," "Native," "Indigenous" etc. as LNAB. [[Adkins-Langen-1|Adkins-Langen-1]] 19:33, 28 January 2022 (UTC) *Deal with the Métis subcategory, eliminating the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:M%C3%A9tis_Maritime_Provinces Métis Maritime Provinces], [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:M%C3%A9tis_Province_of_Quebec Métis Province of Quebec] and [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:M%C3%A9tis_Province_of_Ontario Métis Province of Ontario], as none of these are historic Métis homelands, and contain mostly non-Indigenous profiles who have no relationship with the historic Métis community. Métis profiles who don't fit within any of the other existing categories can probably just go in the higher level Métis category. [[Adkins-Langen-1|Adkins-Langen-1]] 01:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC) * Review the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Hudson%27s_Bay_Company Hudson's Bay Company] Métis sub-categories - should they be kept, moved or eliminated? - subcategories that remain should be considered for renaming, adding HBC to the subc. name for clarity. [[Mutter-136|Mutter-136]] 20:54, 18 February 2022 (UTC) * Clarify the use of the term '''Métis''', which is variably applied it appears. Mixed marriages occur '''VERY''' early in the history of this country, and the children of such were factually Métis. Which is the reason the categories Métis Québec, Métis Ontario etc were created. [[Liard-1|Liard-1]] 21:55, 30 October 2022 (UTC) == Goals == * Sticker redesign goals: # Change the terminology of the sticker template to '''remove reference to membership'''. # Change the terminology of the sticker template to '''remove geographical reference'''. # Determine if the current '''image''' should remain, or if replaced, which image should be used. # Review and recategorize '''top-level subcategories''' if necessary. # Consider offering a '''second sticker template''' for these scenarios using the term "roots', "descent" or "heritage". ''in progress'' # Create a brief but detailed '''guide''' outlining how and when to use the sticker template. : Replace the current wording of: NAME was a Canadian First Peoples and member of the NATION. : Proposed new wording: :: NAME was NATION. (my vote for this one [[Liard-1|Liard-1]] 21:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC) ) :: French version : NAME ''était NATION'' : The NATION used generates the category so these must come from existing categories. : See: :: [[:Category:First_Nations|First Nations]] :: [[:Help:Stickers#Creation_and_Editing|Stickers: Creation and Editing]] : See: [[Space:Sticker_Convention_for_First_Peoples_of_Canada|Sticker Convention for First Peoples of Canada]] == Tasks == *[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cgh4546_xCjcyXn4pmV7Ftoe9USpuPoY3jjEW3TPt0E/edit?usp=sharing Managed Profiles Spreadsheet] - in progress.

== Draft proposal: Work in Progress! == == Overview == On Wikitree, [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Stickers#Creation_and_Editing Stickers] are used for ''"honoring a person or otherwise highlighting something that's deemed to be important about them. When used on members' own account profiles they can be used casually; you're encouraged to have fun with them and highlight anything you want other members and visitors to know about you."'' The First Peoples Canada Project [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:First_Peoples_Canada#Project_Sticker offers a sticker template] that can be placed on profiles to highlight an individual's Indigenous (First Nations, Métis or Inuit) heritage; however, we note that the current sticker may not always reflect that heritage adequately and/or accurately. We would like to propose improvements/changes as outlined in this document. : See: [[:Help:Stickers#Creation_and_Editing|Stickers: Creation and Editing]] == Considerations == # The current sticker template populates the term ''member of the''; as tribal membership may not necessarily be linked to heritage or descent, this terminology may be too specific and could often be inaccurate. # The current sticker template populates the term ''was a Canadian First Peoples''; as Canada is a relatively "new" country, this terminology may often not be geographically accurate for many individuals. # The sticker template links to categories; there may currently be an excess of top-level subcategories under the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:First_Peoples_Canada First Peoples Canada parent category], which may not be fully accurate. # In some cases a Wikitreer may wish to use a sticker to highlight their own distant Indigenous lineage, or to reflect an individual's non-Métis mixed descent background; the current sticker template may often not be adequate for this use. # Currently, the Project offers no guide and limited instructions/examples surrounding sticker use. == Current sticker == : {{First Peoples Canada Sticker|nation=NATION}} : Example: {|style: border=".5" |- ||Current sticker |- |- ||{{First Peoples Canada Sticker|nation=Kwakwaka'wakw}} |- |} == Proposed New Sticker == : The wording changed to: :: NAME was NATION. :: NAME ''était NATION''. (French version) : The sticker will be able to automatically add a category to the profile from a list of existing categories. : We are currently working on a list of categories. See: [[Space:First_Peoples_of_Canada_categories|First Peoples of Canada categories]] : The sticker will use this image: {|style: border=".5" |- ||{{Image|file=Sticker_Convention_for_First_Peoples_of_Canada-1.png |align=l |size=s }} |- |} : This would create a sticker similar to the : [[:Project:Native_Americans#Project_Sticker|Native Americans Project Sticker]] * See also: ''[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:First_Peoples_Canada_Goals_and_Tasks#Goals in progress'']
