Cleanup[edit]

Way too much here is unsourced. I'm going to check the edit history, but the phrasing of the unsourced additions makes it clear that some of this can't be reliably sourced. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 20:16, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added sources. He's a public figure; of course, he can be reliably sourced. Yuchitown (talk) 02:12, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

OK, thanks. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 17:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did some checking. He was involved in NYC and some other areas. The weird descriptions just threw me off. You've got the right of it, Yuchitown. Sorry for the confusion. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 18:16, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder why reference to different birthplace removed[edit]

Hi, just wondering why a reference to Jimmie Durham being possibly born in Harris Texas was removed today as it appears that people have done the genealogical background research to dispute his assertion that he was born in Arkansas? Here are a couple links which show that his place of birth is truly contested: https://news.artnet.com/opinion/jimmie-durham-america-meredith-1014164 http://firstamericanartmagazine.com/facts-resources-jimmie-durham/ https://hyperallergic.com/387970/jimmie-durham-retrospective-reignites-debate-over-his-claim-of-native-ancestry/

Here is a link to where his parents are buried which backs up the claim in First American Art Magazine: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=146769947

Thanks, just curious as I'm still learning the whole article editing thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.66.171.34 (talk) 18:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should be possible[edit]

It should be possible to ascertain if he can speak Cherokee. He might have American Indian ancestors from other tribes, not Cherokee. He seems to have selected the better known tribe. He has no mulatto appearance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C0:FCF6:4801:D40E:43E7:4E80:E5AF (talk) 10:09, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
