The flag was easy to make, though maybe the tent flaps should be a tag bigger. Anyone want to volunteer to add flags to the other articles? I think it would be a nice touch. kwami 01:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Much of the history section (specifically about the 1973 Wounded Knee standoff) doesn't seem to relate directly to the subject of the article. I certainly think that what it discusses is important, but, at least from what I read, there was no clear connection made (in the article) between the standoff and the subject of the article. Personally, I think the Wounded Knee standoff should get it's own article. Movieman894 11:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to inform readers and the webpage host that there is a link to the SuAnne Big Crow organization. The web address is www.suannebigcrow.org Please visit if you have an interest or question. This website is managed very actively and emails or inquiries eventually get back to SuAnne's mother, Chick Big Crow. 64.251.165.227 16:39, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

The map shows the Pine Ridge Reservation in its borders not of today but between 1889 and 1911 including Bennett County, which was taken away from the Oglala in 1911, see also: http://www.taspan.org/news/firethundermoves.html - Bennett County was formed in 1911; the result of the allotment act, but the Oglala Sioux Tribe never recognized that the land was ever removed from the original reservation boundaries. The Oglala Sioux Tribe continues to abide by the treaty boundaries set by the 1851 and 1868 treaties. -- PhJ (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
