How is "Oglala" pronounced? NerwenGreen 01:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Which is preferred, Oglala Lakota or Oglala Sioux? The variation is used inconsistently here and elsewhere. What is the difference? -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
It would make the article look way better and be more relevant to today if there were at least a few more images (there is only one now) of Pine Ridge and modern day Pine Ridge and Oglala. People get the wrong idea that Pine Ridge is place from the past and/or everything is bad. Images like this are great: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. If anyone has some and would be willing to either give permission to use them or release them into the public domain that would be great. The article Pine Ridge Indian Reservation could use modern images too. They could be easily uploaded at Wikimedia Commons [6] 7mike5000 ( talk) 14:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
The description of the flag appears inaccurate or perhaps the flag image is wrong. The text indicates or at least implies that this is the current flag. The text describes "The circle of nine teepees on the flag..." but I count only eight teepees on the flag. Additionally the description states "The blue represents the sky..." and I am unable to see any blue in the attached flag image. It's possible that the image and meanings are both correct but further explanation might help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.90.240 ( talk) 01:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I concur with the above - there is no blue on the official flag and to the best of my knowledge and research, never has been. There are eight tipi (like eight points on a Medicine Wheel or compass points), which is apparently the "publicly available version (and the original - possibly when there were only 8 districts). According to graphics on the official Oglala Lakota Nation website, there are nine tipi; I am awaiting a reply from the Oglala Lakota Nation as to whether there may be two "official" versions for a particular reason.

Aside from a paragraph on the Sioux Alliance in the 1820s and 1830s and an apparently unrelated paragraph on Surrounded by the Enemy, there's nothing there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.62.96 ( talk) 14:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved ( page mover nac) -- Flooded with them hundreds 14:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
– Consistency with the 6 other pages ( Brulé, Hunkpapa, Sihasapa, Sans Arc, Miniconjou, Two Kettles) about about the 7 bands of Lakota people that do not have Lakota in their page titles (which is redundant). on camera 21:49, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
