[edit] Suggestions
More should be said about the treaties Little Crow signed and also his role in expansionism and imperialism. --Daffy100 22:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sound like a great addition. Where would I find info ? If you have info, please be bold and add it! rewinn 00:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Unsourced additions
A number of colorful but unsourced additions have been made to the events around Taoyateduta's death. If there is no source for them, they should be removed in the interested of encyclopediacity. rewinn 21:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Little Crow is the primary historical name for this person; a quick google search lists about ten times as many results for little crow "sioux" as for taoyateduta; virtually all the references to this person in the article (except the lead) and virtually all historical works about him call him little crow (including the minnesota dept of transportation naming the 'little crow trail'); there is precedent for using translated names for first peoples if they are commonly known by their translated name; there is already a disamb page at little crow, but it awkwardly lists the bird and then little crow as an alt name for taoyateduta poroubalous (talk) 22:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree evidence supports move to Little Crow. Might we go so far as to move it to Little Crow, rather than Little Crow (Dakota chief)? Google results and wikipedia internal links both favor the man over the bird. The current Little Crow could be re-named Little Crow (disambiguation) or simply eliminated in favor of a one line referal at the top of each page, ie This article is about the Native American chief. For the bird, see Little Crow (bird), and visa versa.
- "little crow" indian = 34,500
- "little crow" bird = 19,100

- I agree -- moving this just to Little Crow and then adding the referral at the top to the bird would be best (there once was disamb page but that just seems unnecessary in light of a simple referral) poroubalous (talk) 18:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support either move option per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:UE. — AjaxSmack 06:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Depiction in Fiction?
I removed a link to a non-famous historical novel because it didn't seem encyclopediac. If Little Crow is a significant character in fiction, perhaps a separate "depictions in fiction" section might be appropriate but if so, it should contain more than just the one link. Personally, I don't think it's a great idea but if it's well done, I have nothing against it. rewinn (talk) 06:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] descendents
Greetings,
I've been working on a page for Kevin Locke, a descendent of Little Crow. Should the two pages be linked somehow?--I'm Nonpartisan (talk) 04:10, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
