In regard to this paragraph: "In 1940, American scholar Joseph Epes Brown wrote a study of Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ and its relevance in the Sioux ideology of "underlying connection" and "oneness." He noted how the phrase has been misappropriated and misused as a slogan and salutation by peoples from outside the Lakota cultures.[4]

In 1940, how could Joseph Epes Brown be criticizing a practice that has largely been common in modern times, especially from the nineties until present? The referenced note is to a secondary source and doesn't provide a page number for reference. Shootingstar (talk) 17:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Source on Appropriation...isn't
I was looking at the source on appropriation of this phrase, and didn't see anything relevant in the pages cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samineru (talk • contribs) 03:44, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I have verified the White Bird source but I was unable to find reference to misappropriation in the Lupton source, however, I do not have a copy of the book so the Google Books excerpt isn't really enough to declare the sentence unverifiable.
