Bi-born?

The opening sentence of the article says

Susan Power (born 1961 in Standing Rock, Dakota) is an American author from Chicago, Illinois.

The first article of the first subsection reads,

Susan Power was born in Chicago, Illinois and is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Tribe of the Dakotas.

Was she mysteriously born in two places at once? Was her physical self born in Chicago while simultaneously her spiritual self was born in the Dakotas? Un school 00:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just checked the article's sources; she was born in Chicago. The error was introduced in November 2018, apparently innocently, by an editor introducing the word "in" in a place where it looked like it was missing (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Susan_Power&diff=next&oldid=840572169) , as a result on an odd edit in July of 2014 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Susan_Power&diff=next&oldid=589881545), which, while strange, appears to have been innocent in intent. Anyway, I'm now going to correct the article. Un school 00:46, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adding for a four-year-old discussion, but she is Standing Rock Dakota (tribal affiliation), born in Chicago, Illinois (place). Yuchitown (talk) 18:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
