de-US militarize
editThe article currently reads like a US-military-biased version, if only in basics/choices of language; was this part of the Yakima War or was this the Coeur D'Alene-Palouse War? Whatever, this should be better tied into corresponding articles on tribes and the post-annexation/partition Indian Wars.Skookum1 (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Battle of Four Lakes and Spokane Plains
editThese were two separate battles in the campaign against the Spokanes and other neighboring tribes. 'Four Lakes' occurred on Sep 1, 1858 while 'Spokane Plains' occurred four days later - Sep 5.

500 vs 5000
editIn the description of the belligerents, the Native American coalition strength is given as 500. However, the photograph of the Four Lakes monument shows "5000 allied Indians" in its inscription. This differs by an order of magnitude. Which was it? Brucite (talk) 16:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
