This is a great article! It is concise yet very informative. You go into the right amount of depth where the reader comes away with a solid grasp of the Duck-In, but not too much so that the details get confusing or seem unnecessary. You write with a very neutral voice, and the piece as a whole seems very objective since you include a range of sources coming from both Indigenous peoples and activist groups as well as government websites and third party news sources. Additionally, facts are well cited and well stated.

I think the structure of your article works very well too — the quick background you give is very helpful, and the way you split up the information about the actual Duck-In helps to guide the reader. One suggestion I would make about the structure though, is I might make the “Similar Protests” section a separate heading instead of keeping it under the Duck-In section. It could work where it is now, but since the section is switching gears a bit it might be helpful to separate it. Additionally, the first paragraph you have should be your lead section (I think), in which case you would want it to be above the first heading and contents section. I also think you might want to add some more information (maybe a sentence) about what happened after the Duck-In — while you don’t want to give everything away in your lead section it would be good to give a full overview of what you will talk about I think.

In terms of sources, I think you have a good number of reliable and diverse sources, especially for a topic with little information. There was one source I checked that didn’t work (source number 11) so you may want to take a look at that to make sure it is a correct citation. Also, make sure you have a heading for your references section!

Other than that, I think you have a really strong and informative article! Besides the few suggestions I made above, and a few minor spelling and grammatical typos, I think this article is provides great info on a very interesting and important topic. Great job!
