[edit] Photographs

The portrait shows a man with a crippled left hand, the picture taken at Wounded Knee obviously not. So it seems that this cannot be the same person. Does anyone know more about this? --Meile 17:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Meile, I thought that at first too, but if you look more closely at the portrait you can see that it is just white cloth covering part of his left hand and wrist.

[edit] Number of casualties

This article claims that 290 Lakota tribal members died during the Wounded Knee Massacre, however the wiki page of that event says about 150 Lakota Sioux died: In all, 84 men, 44 women, and 18 children reportedly died on the field, while at least seven of Lakota were mortally wounded. There are unsubstantiated claims that these numbers are under reported by almost half. If that is true, then the number on this page is rather hypothetical. Zonder 13:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
