Talk:Sarah Winnemucca

Place of death
Omer Stewart, in a published review of Canfield's 1983 biography, said that Winnemucca died at her sister's at Henry's Lake, Idaho. There is no cited source for the other location of Monida, Montana.Parkwells (talk) 17:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Birth name, Gale Ontko as source?
Is Gale Ontko to be considered a reliable source on Winnemucca's birthname? I have removed the note Saying "Thocmentony or Tocmetone( Paiute: "Shell Flower") Ontko, Gale. Thunder Over the Ochoco, Volume I: The Gathering Storm, p. 404. Bend, OR: Maverick Publications, Inc., 1997"" Untill we have a consensus on this? Where did Ontko get the information? I think it would likely be better to cite his primary source here.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 03:23, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Dawes Act
There was an unsourced fact about the Dawes Act requiring Native students to go to English schools. I think this is in another Act, it does not seem to be in this one. Removing the sentence. Please return it to the article if a source can be found or rewrite to include the proper act. Jessamyn (talk) 02:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC) "It also required Indian children to attend English-language boarding schools."
 * I think that, while the Dawes Act itself did not mandate English-only education, the policy and regulations of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, both under the Dawes Act and earlier, did.. See Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for the Year 1887 at 20-25. TJRC (talk) 00:47, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

"Sub to Shark" phrase
Hi,

I'm just a regular Wikipedia reader and I was reading this article and came across the phrase "sub to shark" in this sentence.

″She was one of the few Paiute in Nevada who knew how to read and write English, and her family all spoke sub to shark.″

I googled the following phrase and could find nothing but shark videos and articles. Is this a common saying in some part of the world or is it a mistake?

Thank you!
