We aren't going to include anything on the Inuit and other Far North Native American tribes, or native Hawaiians? Alaska and Hawaii are part of the United States.

It you have relevant information on them then add it in. It's a wiki where the knowledge is drawn from our contributor pool. If a contributer doesn't know, or have enough information, then they can't add them. They can add the bits they do know about though.
Okay originally the page had a section for Native Hawaiians and Alaskans but then I checked the state pages and they already have a lot of information on those groups. So in the interest of not having the same informationn posted in two different places I just removed those sections. If you have information on those groups( the Alaskan page could use some more I believe although the Hawaii page is pretty good) you should probably go there.
I think the paragraph in the "Culture" folder using Johnny Depp as an example of a "part Cherokee" cultural Native person is a very odd example and needs to be removed. Johnny Depp has been claiming he is either Creek, Cherokee, or both for many years, but has never provided proof of his ties to these nations. He was not "adopted" by the Comanche Tribe - he was "adopted" by a singular woman and is not enrolled in any federally recognized tribe or recognized as a citizen of the Comanche Nation.
It's also important to note that it's curious that he would be "adopted" by the Comanche Nation despite his claims of Creek (Mvskoke/Muskogee) and/or Cherokee ancestry. If he is of Creek and/or Cherokee ancestry, those nations would claim him.
The Cherokee Nation and Creek Nations are both lineage based tribes. The only requirement to enroll is the ability to trace a director ancestor back to the 1906 Final Dawes Rolls. Again, Johnny Depp has not demonstrated that his ancestry meets the requirements.
