Talk:Fort Whoop-Up

Who runs the fort today?
And is it a functioning museum? Kevlar67 02:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The city runs it. It is an interpretive centre, but there is a section that displays artifacts (clothing, time period goods, etc). --Kmsiever 04:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, there are at least two locations that display artifacts. The main office area, which I referred to above, and at least one of the old barracks, which displays goods, post office supplies, cooking utensils, and so forth. --Kmsiever 04:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Good enough, I'll add it to the cat for museums in Alberta. Kevlar67 21:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It is actually owned by the city, but not ran by them, it is leased out to and governed by the Fort Whoop-Up Interpretive Society, a not-for profit organization, it has a small office and three attached galleries, with a reconstruction of the fort, including 12 period rooms furnished as they would have been in the 1880's - Senior Site Host, Fort Whoop-Up National Historic Site —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fekas23 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Article move
Does anyone know why this was moved from Fort Whoop-up to Fort Hamilton, Alberta? --Kmsiever (talk) 19:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

“Great” “Indian” Battle
The use of “great” and “Indian” in the infobox for “last great american indian battle” are extremely problematic. “Indian” is at best a controversial term, and the ethnic groups to which it points have not as I understand self-adopted the term. Furthermore characterising any battle as “great” is implicitly prejudicial — we don’t speak of the “great” battles of the Vietnam war or the Iraq wars, so I refuse to believe it has any justifiable application in this instance. — Muckapedia (talk) 5 e mai 2014 16h33 (−4h)
 * Agreed. I am going to change it to Battle of the Belly River, a lot more specific and informative. Indefatigable (talk) 01:23, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
