===Public Receipt and Discussions of Talbot's Claims===
Talbot's claims of an indigenous status have also been discussed publically on internet forums, as they e.g. were repeated in several articles in the English and German Wikipedias. The English Wikipedia still carries an article on "Manitonquat"<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitonquat </ref>, despite publically accessible information about Talbot's true background. The German Wikipedia runs an article on the "Talking Stick" which is used by Talbot, with the article completely lacking quotations but recommending one of Talbot's books as information material.<ref>https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redestab </ref> Quite in line with Talbot's presentation, the German language article apparently views Talking Sticks as generically indigenous, while the English Wikipedia<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_stick </ref> correctly places them within the context of the North-West cultural region of North America.

Up until December 2006, German Wikipedia mentioned Talbot in their article on the Wampanoag Nation, characterising him as an outstanding member of the nation. Due to discussions in other internet forums that year, a Wikipedia user raised the issue in the article's talk section, providing a link to a post submitted by a member of the organisation team of the German summer camp. In this post, the team member stated that many persons coming to the camp in fact knew that Talbot was not indigenous but white, and that Talbot freely admitted this fact upon inquiry, which the team member apparently viewed positively. Due to this information, Talbot was deleted from the article, which in turn caused the team member to try and intervene with Wikipedia, contending that he should have phrased his post somewhat differently, had he known it was going to be used as a reference by Wikipedia.<ref>http://www.newikis.com/de/wiki/Diskussion:Wampanoag#Manitonquat </ref>
