First...

Actually, Tonie Nathan was the first woman to receive an electoral vote back in 72. 50.73.87.46 (talk) 04:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, and there is no source for first Native, either. 174.22.252.60 (talk) 04:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"There is no source for first Native, either". Have you heard of Google? Maybe next time try actually doing some research yourself instead of slapping a "citation needed" tag on and expecting others to do it for you. IgnorantArmies (talk) 07:06, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Photo source ?

There is a portait photo available on the net, I believe it would go a long way to enhance the article. Now the rub is, I am a total newbie here and have no idea about photo copyrights, etc.

So please someone knowledgable, see if anything positive can be made from this?

Here is the raw link "as is":

Does not have a picture

In order for faith spotted eagle not to have a picture And to have a picture at the same time there would have to be an inconsistency that Native Americans CAN NOT run for president without losing their native american status 72.135.20.126 (talk) 18:28, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is completely untrue. And there is no free use image currently available. MB298 (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a picture of Zitkala-Sa out of concern that, without any pictures of the article subject, she could be confused for the subject. ☆ Bri (talk) 22:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
