Pronounced?

How is "Oglala" pronounced? NerwenGreen 01:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard it pronounced O-gla-la or O-kla-la... on camera^(t) 19:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Oglala Lakota or Oglala Sioux

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)[reply]

Modern Day Pine Ridge and Oglala Images

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)[reply]

Oglala Flag

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)[reply]

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. ^[1] Kamishiro (talk) 02:54, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What's up with the history section?

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)[reply]

I'm shocked that this comment is 10 years old, and the history section is still so small. Also, I came looking for the Oglala peoples' history, which didn't begin when Europeans arrived. Why is there nothing at all about the origins of these people? 2601:1C2:1B7F:1630:D4B7:94F1:E2BF:2575 (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oglala Lakota → Oglala
Oglala → Oglala (disambiguation)

– 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). oncamera 21:49, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oglala is a disambiguation page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:03, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Oncamera: See here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:08, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my thoughts: please move the current content from Oglala to Oglala (disambiguation) (which is a current redirect to Oglala) and move this page to Oglala. oncamera 00:20, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also would like to add that the Oglala band is the primary and original usage of the word Oglala and should have the page Oglala instead of Oglala Lakota. The other uses should be on Oglala (disambiguation).

Support the double move. Per WP:PTOPIC, "A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term." That is clearly the case here. This page also gets 80% of the views of the four full title matches on the DAB page. Narky Blert (talk) 15:33, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Oglala is the primary topic, and it's good to be consistent in article titles. Yuchitown (talk) 19:00, 12 January 2019 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Meaning of the (translated) name

Does anyone know what "to scatter one's own" even means in this case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.55.24 (talk) 02:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
