[edit] Title

Why "Blackfeet Indian Reservation"? Hyacinth 01:40, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm so confused. I changed the second given title to "Blackfoot Nation", feeling sure that that is correct. Then I checked the Blackfeet article and was surprised by the content I remembered writing which, contrary to my memories, indicated that it is "Blackfeet Nation".

But when I happened to check the edit history of that page I discovered that what I had written had been directly contradicted with no evidence.

I looked at the new external link (website) given for the tribal govt and discovered that what I had thought was the official website was actually a commercial site.

But when I actually went to those pages, I discovered that what is listed as a commercial site was indeed the official site, and that the new cite added as official is commercial.

What the heck is going on? Hyacinth 01:47, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ah, the "official" website is deceitful and the actual official website is modest. Good work User:Rmhermen. Hyacinth 01:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV

The article's main title being at "Blackfeet Indian Reservation" rather than "Blackfoot Nation" ("Blackfeet Nation") endorses the US government's attempt to treat US-Indian issues as domestic rather than international. Is there a guideline that indicates "Reservation" over "Nation"? Hyacinth 03:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
