This article is about the first murder investigation on an Indian Reservation by what would later become the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I believe that it meets the criteria for featured article. GregJackP Boomer! 04:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Where both primary and secondary sources are available, one should cite both. While primary sources are more "accurate", secondary sources provide more context and are easier on the layperson. Where primary and secondary sources conflict factually, the primary source should be given priority.Here, I have tried to make sure that every time I used a primary source I also used a secondary source for the same fact. For example, there are several laws dealing with Indians which are cited, and in each of these there is also a cite to either Kappler's book or another secondary source. The same thing where a case is cited, for example at fn47 the Ramsey case is cited, along with Donald Fixico's book. The use of both types of sources is comparable to Ex parte Crow Dog, United States v. Lara, and Menominee Tribe v. United States; all of which are featured articles and all of which have been Today's Featured Article on the main page. If you have some specific concerns I would be happy to address those.
