Talk:Daquota

Why Daquota? Is that /dakwota/? Nik 11:44, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

Hey, it was the way the Louisiannans transliterated it. Who'm I to argue? ;) BoArthur 11:48, 29 August 2006 (PDT)

Actually the Dakota (and Nakota) lived in what is Les Plaines *there*. Its was the Lakota that lived west of the Missouri River. --Sikulu 01:35, 1 December 2006 (PST)

Those silly Louisiannans. Leave it to those crazy white men to mix up their indian tribes. (Meaning, "Ah, good point. I won't be changing it despite the error, because, well, I only discovered the information. It's the Louisiannan's fault." ;) ) BoArthur 10:59, 1 December 2006 (PST)

Maybe *there* the dakota were "encouraged to relocate" (GovSpeak for deported) sometime in the past and ended up absorbing the lokata tribe. just a thought.--Marc Pasquin 11:47, 1 December 2006 (PST)

Well, in some cases, the words Sioux and Dakota were more or less interchangable. I don't know what occured *there*, but I think that they probably had a better deal than *here*. Maybe they just prefered the French way of dealing with the Natives rather than the Anglo-Kemro-Scottish way. There would probably be some Dakota still living in Les Plaines though (maybe there's a Daquota and Naquota districts in Les Plaines?). --Sikulu 02:59, 2 December 2006 (PST)
