The article on Inkpaduta [sic] is based on Paul Beck's recent biography. However, Beck failed to conduct any interviews or use sources north of the American border. Mark Deidrich makes the same mistake in his Famous Dakota Chiefs even though he otherwise quotes Laviolette. Although Beck's presentation of events are reasonable enough, he conflates two individuals as if they were one long-lived person. Inkpaduta I was the son of Wamdisappa and was born in the late 1790s as stated in the article, but died circa 1850 in the US. Inkpaduta II his son was born around the end of the War of 1812 and is the individual who died and was buried in Manitoba in 1881. The difference in Inkpaduta below or above the border is probably because American Duta family members tend to be descended from Inkpaduta I directly while Canadian Duta tend more to be descended from Inkpaduta II. Beck's puzzlement about the change in behaviour and attitude of Inkpaduta, how many wives he had or the number of children, is because he has conflated the two individuals into one person.
