Talk:Spirit Lake Massacre

message: What is "minor" about the slaughter of 40 innocent people?  Would the author dare use such language if the victims were Indians massacred by whites?
Yes, this is minor compared to the other atrocities committed against the D/L/Nakota Sioux.  Either way, the white folk has all of Iowa to live in without any trouble from us.

thread_title: MINOR?

message: An editor has removed material and cites about the causes and aftermath of the massacre, claiming these are biased sources. The solution is not to add unsourced POV content with inflammatory language (blatantly, racist, etc.), but to find reliable third-party sources that support contemporary historical thinking, and takes into account the context of the Dakota actions. While the captivity narratives never pretended to be objective accounts, they are told by one party in the events and cannot be totally discounted. Other points of view can be presented here and have probably been covered in academic histories.Parkwells (talk) 19:03, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
