Talk:Anna Mae Aquash

Month of death

The first sentence says she died in December 75. The only other mention of the timing of her death says body discovered in February 76 and thought to have been killed in the 10 days prior. Which is it and if the estimated date of death changed, then that change should be explained for the reader. Canuckle 04:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

DONE Changed death date to early Feb, based on FBI informant's report. Pasdecomplot (talk) 11:16, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

And based on 2nd autopsy report Canuckle Badagnani Pasdecomplot (talk) 11:21, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

It appears that the change to "early Feb" was reverted. Perhaps there is more compelling testimony about when her execution took place than the guess by the 1st autopsist, who didn't find the bullet wound and was anyway dealing with a frozen body? Maybe the edit history on this reveals what took place here. I merely thought that leaving this section as-is without further comment was confusing. Andyvphil (talk) 12:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

...this link says "on or about the 12th day of December, 1975". https://www.lakotatimes.com/articles/richard-marshall-indicted-in-aim-slaying-of-aquash/ Also see "Death date" section below. Andyvphil (talk) 13:24, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Name?

The name of the page is "Anna Mae Aquash". The first words of the article are "Annie Mae Aquash". The Early Life section refers to "Annie Mae Pictou", and only a later section clarifies that the Aquash name was taken from her second husband. Some clarity of what was her birth name and what she was known as would be helpful I think. 130.63.223.114 (talk) 21:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Sourcing and dubious claims

The sources in this article are incredibly questionable, and there are many claims that are presented with absolutely no evidence like the statement that Aquash was not an FBI informant.

Is there any conclusive evidence that Aquash never helped the FBI? URabinowitz (talk) 00:09, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Dates of Nogeeshik Aquash

Can we add the birth and death years of Nogeeshik Aquash? Did he live from 1944 to 1990? Apparently he was paralyzed in a car accident, then died in a house fire in the early 1990s, perhaps in 1990. ~2026-37846-32 (talk) 04:26, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Alternate spelling

To add to this article: an alternate spelling of her indigenous name is Naguset E'sk. ~2026-37846-32 (talk) 06:23, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
