The Culture of the Plains Indians The Great Plains The grassland extending through the west-central portion of the U.S.

The Horse and the Buffalo Native Americans way of life changed when the acquired horses and guns. They were able to travel farther and hunt more efficiently. Their increased mobility often led to war when hunters trespassed on hunting grounds. Made tepees and clothing from buffalo hides.

Family Life Usually lived in small extended family groups with ties to others that spoke the same language. Men trained to become hunters and warriors. Women helped butcher the game and sometimes chose their own husbands.

Settlers push Westward They argued that Native Americans had forfeited their rights to the land because they hadn’t settle down to “improve” it. Concluding that the plains were “unsettled,” migrants streamed westward along railroad and wagon trails to claim the land.

The Lure of Silver and Gold The prospect of striking it rich was one powerful attraction of the West. Fortune seekers of every description including Irish, German, Polish, Chinese, and African-American men crowded camps and boomtowns.

Massacre at Sand Creek Cheyenne, assuming they were under the protection of the U.S. government, had peacefully returned to Sand Creek Reserve for winter. General Curtis sent a telegram Colonel Chivington that read, “I want no peace till the Indians suffer more.” The attack at dawn killed over 150 mostly women and children.

Death on the Bozeman Trail The Bozeman Trail ran directly through Sioux hunting grounds in the Bighorn Mountains. The Sioux chief, Red Cloud had unsuccessfully appealed to the government to end white settlement on the trail. Crazy Horse ambushed Captain Fetterman and his company at Lodge Trail Ridge. Over 80 soldiers were killed.

Treaty of Fort Laramie Sioux forced and agreed to live on a reservation along the Missouri River. Sitting Bull leader of the Hunkpapa Sioux never signed it. Although the Ogala and Brule Sioux did sign the treaty, they expected to continue using their traditional hunting grounds.

Black Hills Gold Rush Colonel George Custer reported that the Black Hills had gold “from the grass roots down,” a gold rush was on.

Custer’s Last Stand Led by Crazy Horse, Gall, and Sitting Bull, the warriors with raised spears and rifles outflanked and crushed Custer’s troops. Within an hour, Custer and all of the men of the seventh Cavalry were dead.

The Dawes Act The Dawes act broke up the reservations and gave some of the reservation land to individual Native Americans. 160 acres to each head of household and 80 acres to each unmarried adult.

Wounded Knee On December 28, 1890, the Seventh Cavalry rounded up about 350 starving and freezing Sioux and took them to a camp at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. The next day the soldiers demanded that the Sioux give up all their weapons. The soldiers opened fire with deadly cannon. Slaughtered 300 unarmed Sioux including children. Left corpses freeze on the ground.
