Osage or Siouan

edit

Since the demonym is Siouan, shouldn't the section "Notable Osage" read " Notable Siouan"? –St.nerol (talk) 05:56, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Since the reader is interested in finding more about the Osage and their notable members, the heading "Notable Siouan" would be confusing to the reader. The Osage are very proud of their heritage and people and to call them something else would be hurtful and insulting. Cuprum17 (talk) 13:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
