Regimiento Fijo de Luisiana

Sioux did not participate

Wapasha and the Sioux never sided with Great Britain because they frequently sold weapons to the Ojibwa, Sauk, and Meskwaki (their enemies) and simultaneously encouraged them to raid Sioux villages. The French were far kindlier to the Sioux because of a long history of trade and commerce so it would make sense that the Sioux would favor siding with the French. When Ixkatapay, a Dakota brave, was discovered to be the murderer of an English trader, the British threatened Wapasha and his people if they granted him amnesty. When Wapasha went to a British fort in Quebec, he was treated quite poorly by British soldiers. According to eyewitness accounts, when he was imprisoned as a surrogate for Ixkatapay, Wapasha's feathers were torn from his head and stomped on by a Redcoat guard. The only reason he was even released in the first place was because the English officers admired his willingness to sacrifice himself for his people. During the Revolution, the English sent the Dakotas enemies to drive them out but failed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.240.212.135 (talk) 01:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to address what the sources cited in the article say. Your assertions carry no weight until you back them with sources. Magic♪piano 02:14, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources, and neither is chacha.com. Even if they were, the content of these sources doesn't support your claims. Magic♪piano 01:16, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
