[edit]Peer Review: This article is really great. I used the "perfect Wikipedia article" to judge it, and you hit every mark. It seems like this article needed a lot of work and you've really provided a non-biased overview of the Red Power Movement. It's also helpful that you linked a lot of thing to other wikipedia pages, such as the occupation of Alcatraz, or AIM, and added a further reading section. The formatting for your lead is a little weird right now, the citation is on a different line from what you're citing and it's created space in between the two sections. Also, if possible, specify your hyperlink for the IAT. It doesn't redirect to an actually article.Whitlesj3134 (talk) 02:19, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Suggestions
[edit]This article presents a strong overview of the Red Power movement and highlights some key events. I think the coverage of the issues you've chosen is generally strong. I would suggest some broadening in these directions:
- NIYC should be more fully discussed.
- The demand for universities appears in "Legacy" but there's more of a story to be told here, including American Indians in the Third World Liberation Front and the demands for D-Q University.
- Include a list of occupations led by Red Power activists
- Include the reversal of termination as a major legacy.
- Women of All Red Nations (WARN) deserves coverage here.
- So does the International Indian Treaty Council.

Peer Review
[edit]Nice job with this article! The Background information section provided relevant and useful material to help understand the Red Power movement. I liked how you focused on linking other pages to this one so people could explore the topic more thoroughly. Some of the sentence are phrased awkwardly, making the article harder to comprehend at first glance. I think this article could be improved by adding images of the occupation of Alcatraz or other Red Power movements.
