I would suggest that the Cascade Range is not well known enough, at least outside the US, to serve as the primary identifier of location. It seems odd, to say the least, to reach the third sentence before finding what will be helpful information for locating it to most people. Kevin McE (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

"US" is in the first sentence.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:09, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

It is, although not directly as an indicator of location. It is usual in any geographical article to pin that down straight away, as the article does. Kevin McE (talk) 18:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

"Indigenous populations": do you mean humans? I have changed it to that in the article: indigenous populations could refer to local species of any kind. Kevin McE (talk) 17:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Is Native Americans technically correct? I don't want to create another issue.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:12, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

What need is there to say anything other than humans? If we were talking about a geographical feature in Europe or Africa would we feel a need to spell out that they were from that region? Their race does not matter, and will be obvious, one would hope, to anyone able to extract the information that we are talking about north America 10,000 years ago. Let's see if anyone objects to my edit in the article. Kevin McE (talk) 18:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

I've made changes to address the above points.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
