The attribution of his death to Moving Robe Woman appears in secondary accounts.

It is not clearly established in the earliest, most directly attributed testimonies from her.

And some of what has been written about the encounter has clearly been embellished in the retelling — details added, scenes reconstructed, dialogue invented — in ways that go well beyond what the historical evidence supports.

What can be said with confidence: she was in the battle.

She was armed.

She was fighting to defend her community after her brother’s death.
