Talk:Eagle Woman

Question
While living at the fort, she adopted the settlers' lifestyle, but as Picotte often spent long periods of time away, she would return to her tribe.

I'm not entirely sure what the "return to her tribe" is intended to mean here. Does it mean she would eventually physically return after she left the fort permanently, or that she would return during the periods she was away from the fort, or is it a reference to the settlers' lifestyle, "returning" in a more figurative/cultural sense?

 * During the times Picotte was away from the fort, she would also leave the fort to live with and make visits to various Lakota tribes IIRC, so she would physically return to the tribes and also return to the culture. I'll clarify that in a bit!  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 02:56, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, thanks for the copyedit and expansion!! I really wasn't sure if I was adding too much to the earlier sections (still planning on expanding the later ones with a source I haven't fully read yet) so it's good to see the material is worth including!  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 03:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Definitely an interesting subject. Do you happen to know if the trip she went on to Washington was the same one Red Cloud went on?  G M G  talk  10:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It was the same delegation Red Cloud went on, but it doesn't appear that the photographers felt her important enough to take a picture of, and it doesn't seem they took any group photo.  G M G  talk  15:07, 5 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Also this source on page 149 indicates that she did not sign the Standing Rock Treaty. So it seems we have a bit of a conflict in our information.  G M G  talk  15:42, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, looks like she didn't sign the 1876 treaty actually founding the reservation but an 1882 treaty which, from my reading of it, has something to do with ceding more land to the US govt/changing boundaries, modifying the govt rations and govt workers they were receiving, and reserving land for school purposes. Will modify article accordingly, thanks for the catch!  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 20:09, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for looking into it. I think I'm nearing the end of my sources incidentally. But I don't have university library access, or any special access at all really. I wonder if would have access to any additional sources, or for that matter, a contact near Sioux County that might be willing to donate a picture of her grave for the article.

 * Thanks to YOU for finding all of these sources. How'd you do that?! Just google books? I think I might still have access to my university library's resources and will check for more sources in a few hours, and it'd be really cool to get more pictures/knowledge too.  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 20:23, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi GMG! I'm pretty sure I can find more sources. School is back in session so it may take me a bit but I will post them as I find them. Indigenous girl (talk) 13:51, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries IG. Thanks for looking into it.  G M G  talk  17:51, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Oh dang. I also just realized this isn't a GA. (For some reason I thought the DYK review above was a GA review.) We can probably knock that out too.  G M G  talk  20:15, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I was hoping to do that eventually, but you got it a lot closer to GA level than I thought it would be any time soon! Do you think two DYKs would be too much? I think she definitely has enough material to make two interesting DYKs.  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 20:20, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe the rules only allow one per article. But we can always get back on the main page with an FA.  G M G  talk  20:45, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
