American Indian Relations Indian raids were not unusual events in the early 1860s. Many settlements were open to attack because soldiers and civilian men had left the frontier to fight in the Civil War. As a result, many Plains Indians in Texas saw an opportunity to stop westward expansion.

American Indian Relations The Comanche took action, raiding along a line from Gainesville in North Texas to Fredericksburg in Central Texas. When the Civil War ended, federal troops arrived to guard the frontier. However, there were not enough troops to protect the scattered frontier settlements.

American Indian Relations Federal commissioners – government representatives – met with leaders of the Comanche, Kiowa, and other southern Plains Indians in October 1865 to negotiate a peace treaty. In the Treaty of the Little Arkansas, Comanche and Kiowa leaders agreed to settle on a reservation in the Texas Panhandle.

American Indian Relations The peace was short-lived, partly because the reservation was never created. As settlers continued to move westward, some Comanche and Kiowa renewed their attacks. Texas governor James W. Throckmorton estimated that American Indians had killed 162 Texans and captured 43 more between 1865 and James W. Throckmorton

American Indian Relations Between 1860 and 1870, more than half of the population of Denton, Wise, and Young counties moved away to safer areas. As many settlers left their homes, the frontier line was pushed back to the east. Settlers fleeing their homes.

The Treaty of Medicine Lodge In 1867 the federal government sent commissioners to negotiate a new peace treaty with Comanche, Kiowa, and other Plains Indians at Medicine Lodge Creek in Kansas. The commissioners brought gifts of blankets, clothing, and even pistols and ammunition. They offered some 3 million acres of land for a reservation in Indian Territory.

The Treaty of Medicine Lodge The government also promised to provide buildings, farming tools, and a total of $25,000 a year for 30 years. In return, the Plains Indians had to stop raiding, stay on the reservation, and take up farming. Kiowa chief Satanta bitterly opposed the reservation policy. He argued that the Panhandle belonged to the Kiowa and the Comanche. Satanta

The Treaty of Medicine Lodge Others disagreed with Satanta, Kiowa leader Kicking Bird and Comanche chief Horseback argued that their survival depended on moving to the reservations. Many Plains Indians agreed to the terms of the Treaty of Medicine Lodge and several thousand moved to Indian Territory. Others remained on the plains, determined to maintain their hunting grounds.

The Peace Policy In 1869 President Ulysses S. Grant established a Board of Indian Commissioners to carry out the terms of the peace treaty. Grant appointed many Quakers, members of Protestant sect called the Society of Friends, to act as American Indian agents. The Quakers believe in religious tolerance for all peoples and nonviolence. Ulysses S. Grant

The Peace Policy Many Quakers and Christian missionaries became active in Indian affairs in hopes of preventing war on the frontier by helping American Indians adjust to reservation life. The government helped to teach the Plains Indians to make a living by farming, and agents arranged for the construction of schools and churches on the reservations. Indian Agents

The Peace Policy Lawrie Tatum, a Quaker was the Indian agent for the Comanche and Kiowa at the reservation in Indian Territory. There were serious problems with the reservation system. Although the government hoped that the Plains Indians would become farmers rather than buffalo hunters, the land the government set aside for them had poor soil. Lawrie Tatum & Native American Children

The Peace Policy The few Indians who tried farming thus had trouble growing enough food to survive. Government food supplies failed to make up the difference nor reach the proper destinations. Some buffalo hunters entered the reservation, further threatening the Indians food supply. As a result, American Indians living on reservations often went hungry and lacked basic supplies.
