what a beast

We now have more scope discussions than we have closed questions. Could everyone please stay away from Meta, unless there's an actual issue to discuss? The time wasted in academic discussions would be much better spend in creating and curating main site content.

Hullo everyone - I've been a bit quiet lately for various reasons :/ I'll still be around though - I'll join in more once I've caught up with all the meta conversations that happened during the last week :P

@El'endiaStarman Even I thought the same :/

Ugh. Really not sure what what to do with tags for questions about north american aboriginal mythology. Asked about the myths of a canadian tribe. Pretty sure by the tag description I ought to use native-american, but that's not even correct.

Created [indiginous-american].

Thoughts?

[indiginous-north-american] seemed entirely too verbose, but would be more useful.

*indigenous, in all cases above. Glad I started with the existing [indigenous-australian] tag. I definitely would have misspelled it, left to my own devices.

@femtoRgon You might find this answer of mine of a closed question on the History stack of interest:

I'm not entirely sure if that clarifies things, or muddies them though. :-)

@T.E.D. - Thanks, that is helpful.

I've actually retagged using native-american, since there are already 5 questions using the tag. No sense going against that.

But I do think indigenous-american might be a better call. I think "native american" generally refers to indigenous peoples within the United States (like the First Nations, in Canada)
