Article title
Climate change and indigenous peoples
Article Evaluation
This article is lacking substantial research to back up its claims. It delves into each region of the world in which Indigenous peoples will disproportionally suffer due to climate change, but it neglects credible sources.

Article title
Indigenous food security in Canada
Article Evaluation
While this article has great information regarding recent events, it lacks more of a historical context. If I chose this article, I would do more research on Indigenous food security over time and connect it to modern events.

Article title
Dakota Access Pipeline protests
Article Evaluation
This article is well-written, but it ends in early August 2020. I have been following the protests on the news, and I believe this can be updated up into September.

Article title
Indigenous Environmental Network
Article Evaluation
This article seems underdeveloped and has gaps between thoughts. While the information is accurate, I would organize it in a way so that it flows better.

Article title
National Congress of American Indians
Article Evaluation
In the talk page, I noticed how someone mentioned how much of this article is plagiarized. I checked and realized much of it is fixed, but some of the wording is still questionable.
