Interesting quality article, on fine sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I find the original hook too simple - saying only that he was killed, and nothing about what he lived for. I like the idea of the ALT but feel that it's too complex as written. Perhaps try a rewording? Otherwise I could approve it. Why no image of him? --

ALT2... that the song Cheyenne chief White Antelope supposedly sang as he died has been sung at remembrances commemorating the
Sand Creek massacre where he died?
ALT2a ... that the song Cheyenne chief White Antelope supposedly sang as he died at the
Sand Creek massacre has been sung at remembrances commemorating the event?

Gerda Arendt: How do these rewordings sound? @
Mike Christie,
Eddie891, and
Onegreatjoke: I do have a concern about the article: it claims that are conflicting reports about how he died. Did he sing the song in only one scenario, or all of them? If so, I'm not sure if the current hook wordings work since it may need clarification that the song was only sung in one scenario of his death but not the others.

Narutolovehinata5, I like ALT2a - much better than ALT1a - and approve it. I believe that "supposedly" tolerates the reading that the song is legend enough to be commemorated. --
