Questionable claim

'...policymakers employed bribery, dazzle, and intimidation to win the cooperation of these men' Either provide a citation or remove for NPOV. Grandma Roses (talk) 14:48, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

It's in the only source for the article. --Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

In the 1830s?

The painting portrays Plains Indian chiefs, who among many others traveled to Washington in the 1830s... If true, it's not relevant since this painting was painted before then, in 1821. It's also not in the only source used for the article. --Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Appearence

"King painted the chiefs with a war axe, blood-red face paint, and eagle feathers atop their heads, reinforcing the romantic image of Indians as savages"

How should he have painted them? With suits, ties and top hats? Knoterification (talk) 21:46, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
