Project Gutenberg #56550 marks this edition public domain in the USA; living-tradition framing required.
Already present in the corpus as popol-vuh. Keep presentation framed as a historical English edition of a K'iche' Maya sacred narrative, not as an exhaustive voice of living Maya communities. Good for creation, flood, underworld, hero-twin, and comparative mythology links.
Source recordProject Gutenberg marks public domain in the USA; colonial-era ethnographic framing required.
Public-domain candidate for historical Cherokee myth coverage. Import only with clear source notes, outdated-language handling, and respect that Mooney's collection is not a substitute for contemporary Cherokee authority.
Source recordProject Gutenberg marks public domain in the USA, but ritual and medical formulas require ethical restriction before display or AI use.
Do not bulk-import as ordinary searchable scripture. This contains formulas, healing practices, and ceremonial material collected under colonial conditions. Use as metadata/source map only unless a reviewed policy explicitly approves limited excerpts with cultural context.
Source recordProject Gutenberg marks public domain in the USA; trauma/living-community context required.
Important historical source for Ghost Dance religion and colonial violence context. Do not surface songs/prayers as generic public content without careful framing and review.
Source recordProject Gutenberg marks public domain in the USA; image display should preserve Kiowa source context.
Strong candidate for future source-image archiving because the Kiowa calendar images connect text, memory, and visual record. Review individual images before public enrichment.
Source recordProject Gutenberg marks public domain in the USA, but authenticity is disputed and should not be presented as secure Lenape scripture.
Useful for historiography and hoax/authenticity discussion only. Do not rank as an authoritative Indigenous source; keep out of automated similarity claims unless the prompt is about disputed sources.
Source recordPUBLIC DOMAIN (verified both sources): Project Gutenberg #46479 = 'Public domain in the USA'; Smithsonian Libraries & Archives repository item (handle 10088/91687, item 7ce17452-b282-4ca4-a225-035884f058c3) carries rightsstatements.org 'No Copyright - United States' (NoC-US/1.0). Underlying 1898 BAE
ETHICAL CONTEXT (required on any displayed image): the Kiowa kept pictographic calendars maintained by named tribal keepers; the principal ones recorded in Mooney 1898 are the Set't'an (Sett'an) yearly calendar and the Anko yearly + monthly calendars. Present each image WITH Kiowa source context (keeper's name; that it is a Kiowa pictographic record) AND the collector framing (James Mooney / Bureau of American Ethnology — an 1890s U.S. settler-ethnography source). Do not use as generic decoration; relate to indigenous-americas and a future Kiowa Calendar reader page. The published calendar plates are public ethnographic records; no culturally restricted/initiatory material should be sought. IMAGES TO ARCHIVE (specific plates in Mooney 1898): (1) the Set't'an annual calendar (spiral of year-pictographs); (2) the Anko annual calendar; (3) the Anko monthly calendar. DIRECT PD SOURCES: Gutenberg HTML-with-images https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/46479.html.images (plates live under https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/46479/images/); Smithsonian repository PDF bitstream https://repository.si.edu/bitstreams/eb772496-669d-4013-903a-9decc986cc76/download (46MB, NoC-US). BLOCKER (image URL, not rights): I could not obtain a clean DIRECT image URL for a specific plate via the working web tools this run — the Gutenberg image directory is not browsable (returns empty), the Wikimedia Commons API returns empty through web_fetch, and the Smithsonian DSpace item exposes only the 46MB PDF + a JavaScript-loaded thumbnail. RECOMMENDATION (server-side, where Codex already operates): extract the <img> src filenames from the Gutenberg HTML (#46479.html.images) and archive those /cache/epub/46479/images/ plate files as sidecars (ingest=false); OR use Smithsonian Open Access (CC0) National Anthropological Archives photographs of the Set't'an/Anko calendars (clean IDS direct image URLs). Then attach each sidecar with the ethical context above, institution credit (Smithsonian BAE), PD evidence, alt text, and relation to indigenous-americas + the Kiowa Calendar reader.
