Jackson Ross's appeal failed to the president but not all institutions of government where is indifferent to Indian rights as Jackson the Supreme Court took an enlightened view of matters and in March

expansion and discuss why the Dakota by the United States kill the fort and Trading Post near kaposia in 1805 how did this decision change the Dakotas way of life forever assignment Discovery now presents Dakota let them eat grass in the late 1700s on the Great Plains of the American West the Dakota Indians live really I'm on all the various tribes of the region the Dakota enjoy the rich life hunting in the forest I'm on the plains trapping and fishing in the rivers their bond with the land was strong and spiritual  they worshipped it as the Creator and sustainer of life to the Dakota how's everything the year was 1805 the lands of the Upper Mississippi and what was to become Minnesota the native people of this richly forested land were about to make a faithful error  the world to strike a deal with the American Explorer Zebulon Pike Pike one of the tribe to allow the US military to build a fort and Trading Post just a few miles away from the principal Village of kaposia  the Dakota were wary of committing such a strong alien presence in their midst they were eager to trade their first four blankets firearms and other manufactured goods I convinced them that trading with the Americans would be good what's wrong  in 1819 Fort Snelling was constructed attracting dozens of American traitors over the next decade life would rapidly change for the Dakota is 2 in cultures side-by-side we're bound to create friction and so I think life for justments became a little bit harder especially for the Dakota because we've been here since the beginning of time and all of a sudden these aliens are coming in and certainly there was no coughing them  a large number of settlers developed towns along the rivers and cleared the forest the ones abundant hunting grounds of the Dakota became depleted of deer and beaver  the loss of hunting game spelled disaster for the tribe the once self-sufficient Dakota became increasingly dependent on trade with the same settlers whose presence they had begun to deeply resent the Dakota now look to a new leader the son of an influential Chief little crow he cared about his people he cared about what happened to them he was he was not a fighter he didn't want to be a fighter he wanted to remain no volume to get along because he know that this is the way things were going to be it wasn't going to be our country anymore in 1851 little Crowe and other Dakota Chiefs met with territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey  Frenzy set at the Dakota with a treaty that would relinquish their land  but the Dakota were reluctant to song the treaty commissioner's literally bully the Indians another word to better go along and get what we're offering out of it because if you don't we're going to take it anyway and you won't get anything  under pressure little crow agree to Ramsey's terms the agreement was signed in a place called Trevor's disu which became the name of the treaty the Dakota people prepared to depart for the reservation a narrow strip of land along the upper Minnesota River year the Dakota were hemmed in by growing numbers of Scandinavian and German immigrants the Dakota were to become reservation Indians leaving behind the rich and beautiful land they had cherished where they groaned for Generations  crop failure and lack of hunting game left them dependent on food and goods that were too provided by the US government as promised in the Traverse des Sioux treaty step the blankets and food promised in the treaty all from the Rye late and in poor condition the Indian agencies refused to distribute treaty Goods while Washington delayed payment of the money owed to the Dakota sister by the Dakota purchased needed goods from Traders on credit that you kept the Indians in there it was a predatory system the Traders were there to make The Prophet by possibly corn from the dollars that were due to the Indians and they succeeded in doing that year after year 1858  with most Dakota hopelessly in debt and all of their treating money going directly creditors Little Crow and the other Chiefs agreed to sell the u.s. half of their remaining land but the Dakota never saw a single pen from the land sale directly to the traitors to settle past debt the Dakota living in self-sufficient Brunel totally dependent and hungry  very hard to watch your child cry because they're hungry so you get angry So eventually it got to the point where the Warriors said we can't sit here and watch her kids die in this manner our elders die in this manner too slow death is side what they're doing August 1862  a hungry group of Dakota try to break a what government Warehouse full of food little girl was called in to mediate he told the Americans when men are hungry  Lee Health in South one traitor Andrew mirek answered so far as I am concerned grass Dsquared Set Fire to the smoldering Rage of the Dakota and Trigger the chain of tragic reactions a group of angry thank you shot and killed five settlers rage and the desire for Revenge rapidly overtook the Dakota Young Warriors formed war parties search Little Crow to lead them in battle against the settlers little crow who had long sought to find ways to peacefully deal with the settlers and their government reluctantly agree to leave the Dakota and what he believed was a hopeless campaign of violence  to the next 5 weeks Dakota Raves across the land like Prairie fine little girls Warriors took 250 settlers hostage and killed hundreds more finally 1600 men under the General Sibley descended on the Warriors at Woodlake the little crow and many Dakota escaped they had become weary of War deer rage spent the Dakota Warriors saw the hopelessness of their War as little Pro had warned them defeated the Dakota sirene send me list your hostages 400 settlers had been killed the Dakota would have to pay sibling head of the military commission to administer Justice  trials however often lasted no more 5 minutes  in the end the commission sentence 303 Dakota to death by hanging fight the angry protests of the citizens of Minnesota President Abraham Lincoln reduce the number of condemned Indians 238 December 1862 Mankato Minnesota Honda morning following Christmas Day The Condemned men March to the Gallows to be hang all 38 were to die once and largest mass execution in American history Dakota Indians were forced to leave their ancient Homeland in Minnesota for a distant reservation in what is now the state of South Dakota the Dakota had sought an accommodation with the growing presence of Americans we could try

1800s to search for gold how do you think your Expedition would affect the Native Americans already living there  discuss the significance of the closures of United Sports along the Bozeman Trail  assignment Discovery now presents Lakota A Good Day to Die a place to Lakota the greasy grass  on this site on a summer day in 1876 the Lakota Indians defeated famous war hero General Armstrong Custer and approximately 260 soldiers the bus to that date the greatest defeat ever suffered by the United States Army  a bloody fight history books have since called The Battle of Little Bighorn by the end of the 1700s a large tribe of Indians had become a powerful and expanding for some of the tribes on the Northern Great Plains they call themselves the Lakota a word meaning friend circular smooth MS2 word meaning enemy skilled hunters and proud Warriors the Lakota dominated the four Lakota Warrior to die in battle was an honor and warfare was to be conducted in ways that would preserve them their bravery was reflected in the Lakota saying off and shouted as a battle cry today is a good day to die in the late 1700s at the same time as the colonists far to the for preparing to declare their independence from England to Lakota arrive to Paha Sapa the Black Hills of South Dakota ultimate older haha Saba was their most sacred land the center of Lakota spiritual life for the next 75 years the Lakota would thrive on the Great Plains they hunted many Macy's of the Abundant wildlife of the region but buffalo hunting was the principal support of the Lakota way of life for the Lakota Buffalo we're rich in spiritual meaning and endowed with Supernatural Powers the Lakota made use of a part of the mighty animal for food clothing and blunging nothing was allowed to go to waste in the 1840s Prospectors began to cross Lakota hunting lands while traveling west in search of gold for making their way through they killed large numbers of Buffalo often for sport and often leaving wasted Buffalo carcasses to rot for the Lakota such waste not on the unwise but a simple insult to the Creator  the Lakota way of life was in danger my August 1868 Lakota horror Chief Red Cloud had won a great Victory and his Warriors had forced the United States Army close its ports along the famous Bozeman Trail  betrayal had served as the only root for Prospectors in where is traveling to and from the gold fields of Montana cutting straight through the heart of the Lakota Buffalo range the trail turn the disaster for the tribe but the American government was forced to meet redclouds demands and the Victorious Warriors joyously independent quotes September 8th 68 and turn back the American westward expansion and signed a treaty Key Food forever prisoner of his people's victory  you can say that Red Cloud drum and if you look at the view of course Red Cloud lost War because there were other features your help to Doom the Lakota as an independent people the great Sioux reservation an area which included all of present-day South Dakota west of the Missouri River  the government also agreed to provide the dance with life-sustaining rations until they became self-supporting after 2 years of reservation life two years in which pretty good at showing up late or in smaller than promised amount or not at all Red Cloud travel to Washington to express Lakota directions to President Ulysses S Grant and came out and brought paper we could not dim and they did not tell us truly what was in them  we thought the treaty was to remove the force and that we should then see from fighting  when I reach Washington the great father showed me that the interpreters had deceived me all I want is what is right and just Red Cloud return to the reservation disheartened and never again went to war but other Lakota were still willing to carry on the fight for justice and freedom as men 3000 Lakota had refused to sign the 1868 treaty and continue to live in the Powder River Region designated by the us as unseeded in in territory  these Lakota turn to Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse Too honored WarChiefs for leadership  crazy horse really stated his people's position we did not ask you white men to come here the great spirit gave us this country as a home we do not want your civilization  we would live as our fathers did and their fathers before them the old red East speaks with shattered when gold was found in the sacred Black Hills within the boundaries of land recognized as Lakota reservation in the 1868 tree under pressure from gold-seekers to seize the Black Hills from the Lakota the United States government offered to buy the land the Lakota new is the Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse were opposed to selling the sacred land  but the government was not dissuaded the religious concerns of the Lakota were not a primary concern for the settlers and Prospectors pushing the government nor were the terms of the Treaty of 1868 newspaper editorials contributed to the climate of hostility to Lakota Indian nothing nut duster and irrational Mania quite like to the very hip of gold in some recess of the West Sarah one of the Senator's comment that the American people will override every Indian tribe and every Regiment of the u.s. tell me the Gap at where the gold here and there is no stopping them  on December 1875 the US government issued an ultimatum to the Lakota come to the reservation within 60 days or Beacon search hostel and at War  to Lakota paid attention to the government's threats the mission of doing battle with a formidable Lakota was given to General Custer a well-known and popular hero of the Civil War June 1876 Custer and the 7th Cavalry search the Northern Plains for Lakota Warriors not far from Custer's Mission Warriors following Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse joined together with a large number of disappointed reservation lakotas and vans of Cheyenne they were encamped along the river they called the greasy grass  Custer and his name you would as The Little Bighorn  June 25th 176 scouting party sent by Custer spotted a handful of Lakota Warriors and returned to report their position the colonel decide to launch an attack waiting for another scouting intelligent nor reinforcements  Swiss pure strategy and skill Sitting Bull's forces engaged Custer's Army and numbers much larger than the lieutenant colonel had anticipated man out fought and outmaneuvered the 7th Miss defeated in less than two days of fighting the Little Bighorn of course there's the grandest victory in all the history of hostility history of Great Plains Warfare but in that Victory lay the seeds of defeat because that was spectacular disaster for the US Army so stunning to the American people in this Centennial year are celebrating 100 Years of Independence that there was an immediate demand for retaliation in the aftermath of the humiliating defeat in Massacre suffered by Custer's forces the government began an intense campaign of retaliation against reservation Indians ownership of the Black Hills was immediately seized while the US Army relentlessly pursued the Cheyenne and Lakota what's the Cavalry in Hot Pursuit the Cheyenne and Lakota broke up into smaller bands  sitting room escape to Canada for crazy first try to evade capture in the Powder River Country  just 10 months after the victory of Little Bighorn Crazy Horse and his roasted and starving followers surrendered at Fort Robinson Nebraska Crazy Horse was still considered a dangerous man according to eyewitnesses Crazy Horse was stabbed in the back while in custody  and if anybody deserves the Last Dance anybody deserve the last time it was turning Somebody Like Crazy Horse he deserve to to go down fighting you know to the last in or defending himself but but to Die the way he did with you know what I waited to physically defend himself to be to have his arms pinned back and then to be stabbed as history in the back is probably the saddest thing about his whole life Crazy Horse dead and Sitting Bull in Canada Uprising eventually came to an end baste with growing demands and fusions into their land the proud Lakota had waged war against the Invaders  all the Victorious and Bar ultimately the Lakota could not succeed in their fight against the American expansion that destroyed them as an independent people why does activity with your class find and read the treaty between the American government Lakota tribe what did the Treaty say  why do you think Red Cloud felt he have been deceived was he justified in feeling this way now discussion questions for Nez Perce I will fight no more forever identify the countries in the world where people are fighting over land rights and compare their struggle to America's to Lema in the 1800's  that's what you

treaty in the name of the Nez Perce which gave the United States 3/4 of the tribes traditional Homeland the Nez Perce upper Chiefs called it the thief treaty unfortunately for the Nez Perce gold was found on the remaining line just eight years after concluding the first treaty the government wanted a new agreement taking away 90% of the tribes remaining thank the simplest way to view the Treaty of 1863 is it it was a big government scam inflicted on the India is the open up the gold fields to continue to fight exploitation and if it took devious methods if it took play tomorrow divinest methods of them Soviet and that is exactly what happened but have to try refused to sign the new treaty but the government ordered all Nez Perce to come to the reservation several Vans refused leading
