Good excerpts. Some of them I think cannot be applied to all indigenous peoples, even all American Indians.
But my main question for the article editor would be: Why did you use a generic "Indian" painting (left) instead of an actual image of Luther Standing Bear (right)? I can think of reasons, but no good ones.

It's a good question. I don't have the answer, but suspect it's a combination of (a) avoiding copyright issues, and (b) having a (commercial?) relationship with Kirby Sattler such they want to promote the artist. If true, I think those are good reasons, but not good enough.
I further suspect the image you provide at right is out of copyright, given that Luther Standing Bear died in 1939.

The farming wisdom of Mesoamericans, as described in 1491 by Charles C. Mann, included their 'creation' of maize "almost from scratch."
I found this compendium of 20th c. learnings about indigenous peoples in the Americas no less than thrilling--although in the spirit of full disclosure, I have never been a scientist.

I revisited the link posted by Urqhart and am pleased to see that the portrait of Luther Standing Bear is now in a prominent place at the head of the article.

Back to a tidbit from 1491 by Charles C. Mann --
From a 15th century Mesoamerican 'thinker/teacher', Nezahualcoyotl:
"Not forever on earth; only a little while here.
Be it jade, it shatters.
Be it gold, it breaks.
Be it a quetzal feather, it tears apart.
Not forever on earth; only a little while here."
