nativeamericannews/nativeamericanencyclopedia is a content mill.

The nativeamericannews tumblr is a bot that pulls articles from various news sites every couple of hours. Every day or so, it pulls random pages from nativeamericanencyclopedia.com.

The tumblr is actually the "news section" of nativeamericanencyclopedia, which is full of a lot of misinformation. It contains completely made up ideas like the "Native American Zodiac," encourages people to get appropriative tattoos, and posts pictures of Iroquois False Faces on a ripped off article clearly stating that they are not supposed to be publicly shown. These are just the things I have seen on a cursory glance through the pages; I'm sure there are plenty more issues.

Nativeamericanencyclopedia claims it is Native owned and operated and is a freely editable wiki (nativeamericanencyclopedia.com/native-american-encyclopedia/). You cannot actually edit the pages. They are pulled verbatim from other sources such as Wikipedia, native-languages.org, firstpeople.us, newhealthguide.org, and crystal-cure.com.

They also own nativeamericancareers.com and nativeamericanevents.com, which are also content mills. The careers site has a bunch of generic career articles ripped off of other sites and a small listing of casino jobs.

It seems feministwerewolf realized that it was a content mill a few months ago and found the name of the guy who owns the site.

Let's stop supporting it.

I've found that for those whose bodies have a dietary intolerance for turquoise jewelry that seashell beads make a fine substitute.
