Effects of Westward Expansion on Native Americans AP US History With help from Susan Pojer

the plains indians

Who were the Plains Indians? Originally smaller tribes that were nomadic Life and food was based on crops Pumpkins, beans, corn Hunted buffalo, but they were more of a specialty Fairly peaceful

How did they become the Indians of “The West”? Spanish brought horses in the 1500’s Some of these ran away and became wild mustangs Others were traded to the Indians Native Americans were then able to hunt and travel more efficiently This led to competition over grazing land and territory, which caused more warfare between neighboring tribes

What Happened to the Native Americans? America started moving into the Great Plains from the 2 coasts The government was giving away lands with the Homestead Act Railroads were selling land to make money This influx put pressure on the Native Americans for resources and land The new settlers also brought diseases like cholera as well as guns and alcohol Change was happening rapidly

Confrontation Battles between the American Army and the Plains Indians occurred from 1820 until the end of the century The Plains Indians had become excellent fighters on horseback with bows and guns They were much more of a challenge for the Army and settlers than the coastal Indians had been for previous generations

Plan of the American Army The American Army dealt with the Plains Indians by leading the Indians into a false sense of calm with Treaties to protect their land and then violating the treaties whenever the Army or settlers needed to. Am I biased or what?!

The First Treaty of Fort Laramie (1851) The American government promised the Plains Indians control of the Great Plains for "as long as the river flows and the eagle flies” In return the Native Americans would guarantee safe passage for settlers on routes such as the Oregon Trail The government also promised the Indians an annuity of $50,000 a year for 10 years Most of which was never seen by the tribes

Treaty of Ft. Laramie (1851) Colorado Gold Rush (1859)

Sand Creek, CO Massacre November 29, 1864 Against the Cheyenne Chivington and soldiers wanted the gold recently found on their reservation Attacked in the night – over 150 were killed 2/3 were women and children Colonel John Chivington Kill and scalp all, big and little!

Fetterman Massacre / Battle of 100 Slain 80 soldiers massacred December 21, 1866 Part of Red Cloud’s War -Oglala Sioux- 1866-1868

2nd Treaty of Ft. Laramie (1868) The 2nd Treaty of Ft. Laramie was designed to end Red Cloud’s War and was signed between America the Lakota and Arapaho Granted permanent ownership to land in the Dakotas to the Lakota - including the sacred Black Hills

Map of 2nd Fort Laramie Treaty Map Legend: Lakota Nation: Reserved by the 1868 Treaty for the unreserved use of the Lakota people 1876: Lakota reservation after the US stole the Black Hills Lakota reservations after 100 years of court actions

2nd Treaty of Ft. Laramie (1868) Treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek (1867) Signed with Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Arapaho, and Cheyenne – Created reservations for the tribes Reservation Policy

Gold Found in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory! 1874

The Battle of Little Bighorn In 1874 Colonel George A. Custer led an invasion in the Black Hills to survey for gold. After he found gold, thousands of white miners illegally moved onto Sioux land.

The Battle of Little Bighorn The army tried to remove the Sioux from the area, but Sitting Bull (a Lakota chief) had a vision of soldiers and Native Americans fighting.

The Battle of Little Bighorn When Custer approached the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho encampments on the Little Bighorn River, the tribes were ready. Custer and his 7th Cavalry were defeated, but this battle marked the end of the Sioux’s fight.

The Battle of Little Bighorn Various bands were taken in the winter of 1876-1877 and Sitting Bull and his followers surrendered out of hiding in Canada in 1881 where they were suffering from hunger. The Lakota were just one of many Native American nations that were eventually removed from their land by the whites.

The Effect of Railroads on Native Americans The train companies ran their track through territory previously controlled by various Native American tribes. To stop the initial conflicts between the two groups, the railroad companies realized that the Native Americans would be weakened without a large buffalo population. Therefore trains often stopped to allow passengers or workers to shoot as many buffalo as possible – then the buffalo were often left to rot on the prairie.

The Effect of Railroads on Native Americans Shooting buffalo from a train Buffalo Bill Cody killed over 4000 bison in 2 years to provide meat for Railroad workers

The Effect of Railroads on Native Americans 15 million buffalo still roamed the American plains in 1865, but by 1885 just a few thousand remained with the largest herd (a few hundred) hiding in Yellowstone National Park. Some believe that by decimating the buffalo population, the Railroad Companies and other buffalo hunters did more damage to the Plains Indians than the American Army.

Carlisle Indian School, PA Dawes Severalty Act (1887): Assimilation Policy Carlisle Indian School, PA

Americanization The Dawes Act instituted a policy of Americanization - changing the Indians into “Americans”: Taught Native Americans about capitalism by splitting reservations into individual plots of land Other acts were boarding schools for children, missionaries, and teaching about “roles” for men and women

The Ghost Dance Tradition The Ghost Dance began in late 1888 and reached its peak in 1890. Originally conceived by a Paiute man, the Ghost Dance was a ritual to be performed in order to rid the world of the whites and restore the earth to the Native Americans. This hopeful practice quickly spread throughout the reservations of the Plains tribes.

Arapaho “Ghost Dance”, 1890

The Ghost Dance Tradition and Wounded Knee The end of the Dance came in 1890 when the U.S. army massacred at least 200 Lakota men, women, and children in an attempt to put an end to the Ghost Dance. This slaughter is known as the Wounded Knee Massacre and brought about the end of the wars between the Native Americans and white Americans.
