Assigning society location and matches for N. American indigenous groups that have been displaced? #168

Open stellasilbert opened 2 years ago

stellasilbert commented 2 years ago

I noticed while reviewing society 23519, Chahiksichahiks (also known as Pawnee), that our society metadata uses the locations that indigenous groups resided in by the time they were recorded (in the case of 23519, Ponca City, Oklahoma), rather than their ancestral lands, whereas the EA uses the ancestral lands (Nebraska, in this case) and the focal years are older.

I assume this is okay, and it is up to researchers to use the focal years provided to determine whether they want to match our data to the EA data? Should we add some kind of warning to cases like this?

Yes. Let’s use ancestral lands and note Ponca Ciry as contemporary location in a note field. Also put Ponca city in square brackets.
