This is a list of indigenous women who have either no article in the English Wikipedia or the article is not very extensive. Links to articles in other Wikipedias have been added for the most part. I have not divided the list up by category (artist, linguist, etc.) since most of these women are famous in more than one field. The list is by no means complete, so feel free to add to it.
Please note: for people from language communities that use
avoidance language, this list does contain the names of dead people.
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone working on eradicating these red links! I appreciate your work more than words can say.

My usage of tribe and nation names should not be emulated. Please take care to use what indigenous sources use for these names and not what I might have here. Also if anyone can improve the names, I will be ever so thankful.
Monique Sioui, an Indigenous activist. There is no Wikipedia article in English about her. You can create it by translating the

Konrad Sioui.
