[edit] Use of oral sources
I primarily used the Stanley text and web info as sources for the logistical stuff. For the cultural, I depended heavily on conversations and experiences I have had at the Pueblo. I defend the use of oral sources on two grounds:
- Often it is difficult to find information about Native American tribes, and what is written tends not to answer peoples' questions. In this way, oral traditions can help fill in the gaps.
- The Pueblo themselves have preserved their history and culture orally, so any exclusion of oral sources would necessarily exclude their own voices, which would be unfair and "unencyclopedic" by any standard.
If readers/editors are unsatisfied with them, I will understand, but I beg those who would purge this article of non-textually-sourced information to question whether or not traditional standards of "sources" are broad enough to get the whole story. We should look to learn from anywhere possible, page or mouth.--Rockero 08:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
- This was one of my first articles, written before I fully understood the original research policy. Sorry!--Rockero 00:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Language
I hope somebody changes my horrible phoneticiziations into standard IPA.--Rockero 08:41, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
