Questions about famous people from Obedjiwan 28
Who is the most famous person from Obedjiwan 28?
The top name is Eruoma Awashish (Canadian artist), going by Wikipedia coverage. Next come Christian Awashish.
How many famous people were born in Obedjiwan 28?
4 are placed here on Wikidata; the rest have no article to confirm it.
What is Obedjiwan 28 known for?
That is 50% of the town’s list, against 12% across Canadian towns.
Who counts as from Obedjiwan 28?
Two sources must agree: Wikidata, placing the birth inside Obedjiwan 28’s reserve lands (the reserve’s 2021 census subdivision) or one of its hospitals or districts, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article. Moving here later is not enough, and adult performers and people known chiefly for crimes are not listed.
Why is someone missing?
The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
