Indigenous Traditions

All timelines

The Indigenous timelines are community timelines. Each community's history stands here when the community itself supplies it and consents to its publication. The framework's anchor events, the Doctrine of Discovery, the Indian Reorganization Act, the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, NAGPRA, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the rest of the shared frame, stand ready for each community that consents. No timeline is published without community review, and a community's events return nothing here until its consent is granted. A record a community directs us to withhold in detail stands under its name and date with its detail redacted.
