âpihtawikosisân, I’m writing a novel that takes place in the west, and one of the things I want to do is to not fuck up the representation of native people. I’m of course doing some research, but I want to know some basic things to avoid, since the majority of what I’m doing is made up(It’s somewhere between a first world and second world story).

If some research isn’t enough, do more!

No offence, but I don’t have the time to put together a list that would help you be more accurate.
