[edit]

Wikipedia is listing Mary Youngblood as a Seminole when she is not enrolled in the Seminole tribe of Florida. She is making a fraudulent claim. She is not enrolled as an Alaskan Native. It only takes a phone call to tribal registration to find out the truth.

If she was enrolled she would undoubtedly list herself as a tribal member of one of the two tribes she claims to be from. It's fraudulent to make claims that are untrue when marketing yourself as a Native American artist under the truth in marketing law called the Indian Arts and Craft Act of 1990. Fraudulent artists should read it before they end up in jail for breaking the law. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsosie505 (talkcontribs) 10:00, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • She was apparently adopted by a white couple at seven months old. This could explain her not being enrolled. You would need to ask one of her respective tribes about a "girl adopted by Bob and Leah Edwards of Seattle."--T. Anthony (talk) 13:00, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad someone finally made an article on her!--T. Anthony 07:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BTW Indian Arts and Crafts Act only pertains to visual artists, not writers or musicians. -Uyvsdi (talk) 16:49, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi[reply]
