Could the name of the category Dakota War of 1862 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dakota_War_of_1862 - please be corrected? Wikipedia does not provide a source for that name. The name of the war is the US-Dakota War of 1862. It is true the war has been called many things throughout history: Dakota Conflict, Sioux Uprising, and I know of one documentary that called it Little Crow's War. It is fine to include these names when describing the US-Dakota War of 1862 since they indeed have been used, but all these names diminish the fact that this was a war between two sovereign nations. Please review linked article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_War_of_1862 - for this category. The article provides no source for the name Dakota War of 1862. See the linked Minnesota Historical Society sources for their use of the name US-Dakota War of 1862. It is the most consequential event in Minnesota history.
