Start class? Low importance? That seems off for what would appear to me, the writer, a well-researched, well-written, authoritative article about a battle that is of some importance in the American Old West. A reassessment is needed. Smallchief 22:00, 3 October 2012 (UTC) 21:56, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
In 'Aftermath' the current entry reads "...Mutilating the bodies of their dead foes was an Indian custom, ensuring, according to their religion, that their enemies were unable to enjoy the physical pleasures of an afterlife." This may be true of some Indians (although I have seen no evidence to support it), but this is not the case in this instance. These Indians did not normally mutilate the bodies of their foes. They did so in the case as an apparent reference to the Sand Creek Massacre at the hands of Col. Chivington. This can be found in the authoritative Native American history "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee".

Article currently States the death toll under Fetterman was 81, but the memorial at the site lists 83 individuals. What’s with the discrepancy? Paragon Deku ( talk) 04:34, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
