Article needs sources

As this is Wikipedia, the article needs sources in every section. This is very confusing; it is unclear as to whether one or more editors have tried to present the history of many Ojibwe people here, with references to numerous treaties and the War of 1812, or to those people most tied to the Turtle Mountain Reservation. The larger history is covered elsewhere, but the articles related to the Turtle Mountain Band, their history and reservations should be aligned and integrated so they support each other, rather than appearing to work at cross purposes.Parkwells (talk) 13:33, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seven nations

The Iroquois were unlikely to be the reference for Seven Nations, as previously noted here, as they were not Anishinaabe, and were competitors over time. The Six Nations of the Iroquois at the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War were given a reserve in Canada, as well as keeping their previously established reserves, such as the mostly Mohawk reserves of Kahnawake, Kanesatake, and Akwesasne.Parkwells (talk) 13:33, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed section on Sitting Bull's grave

I decided to be bold and removed the section of the article on Sitting Bull's possible grave site, which had been unsourced for years and years. Plenty of it is dubious at best, some claims are obviously false (Sitting Bull was not Anishinaabe!), it's poorly written and unclear in places, meanders over a bunch of random claims that have nothing to do with the actual subject, and bizarrely uses an Ojibwe title (Ogima = ogimaa "chief") for a Lakota chief. On a more fundamental level, it grants a large amount of space to what may or may not be a fringe theory among Hunkpapa people (it's surely fringe among historians) in an article that has nothing to do with that theory in the first place, since the theory claims Sitting Bull was buried on the Canadian side of the border, not anywhere on the Turtle Mountain Reservation!! (The source, as far as I can tell, is this article from 2007, but it's behind a paywall for me so I can't read the whole thing. But even ignoring everything else, if the source for this is just, "this one Lakota guy told a newspaper that Sitting Bull isn't buried where everyone thinks!", that should not count as a reliable source.) If much stronger and more reliable sources can be found and someone is willing to rewrite the material to be accurate, concise, and ... well-written, then maybe it could be included in the article on Sitting Bull himself, but as noted is still entirely inappropriate here. --73.166.134.151 (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
