Talk:Northern Cheyenne Exodus

Untitled
Where did you get from that the cheyenne of the Exodus in 1878 attacked and killed 40 settlers and raped their women? I didn't read that in Dee Browns Bury my heart at Wounded knee. On the other side, Dee Brown wrote about settlers killing wounded cheyennes left on the battlefields. This, you didn't write in the article.

 * I don't find Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee that good an historical source. The source is cited: pages 78 to 103 Tell Them We Are Going Home: The Odyssey of the Northern Cheyennes, by John H. Monnett, University of Oklahoma Press (December 2004), trade paperback, 255 pages ISBN:0806136456 ISBN:978-0806136455 Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee has a strongly pro-Indian point of view, thus much in it about white atrocities and little about Indian retribution. At any rate, I don't have it at hand. Perhaps you could cite the page with the information you feel is missing. Fred Talk 02:37, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I just checked with Monnett. He states on p. 79 that

"by the time the Ohmeseheso crossed out of Kansas on about Octoiber 2 or 3, 1878, approximately 41 settlers had been killed. [...] according to a Kansas senate resolution [...] twenty-five women and children, ages eight and older were raped, a figure that seems inflated given existing evidence."

I will look into it that the article reflects the gist of that source better. Lookoo (talk) 22:19, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Mislabelled image?
The image accompanying this page is labelled "Little Wolf and Dull Knife, Chiefs of the Northern Cheyenne." But if you click through, the image is labelled "Little Coyote and Morning Star." Any thoughts on this discrepancy?  · rodii ·  23:28, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind, Dull Knife is Morning Star and Little Wolf is Little Coyote. It's a little confusing nonetheless, but not wrong.  &middot; rodii &middot;  02:47, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
