In the year 1862, the Dakota people had disagreements with the settlers of Minnesota, they ended up having to live on a reservation in trade for annuities. When people refused to trade, the Dakota people protested by fighting and killing hundreds of settlers. The military sent over 300 people to death, when President Lincoln reviewed the evidence he changed the number to 38 people to death. The people who fled were exiled to a area which developed the name The Dakota Territory.

Conflicts began escalating between settlers and native americans and in 1867 congress decided to act. Congress created the Indian Peace Commission which proposed creating 2 large reservations on the plains one for the Sioux and another in the southern plains for native americans living in that area. These reservations would have federal agencies running these reservations. With harsh negotiations and pressure by the commission, tribal leaders signed the treaties. These reservations would not last long with many native americans leaving the reservations by 1870 in disgust due to impoverished living conditions and corruption of american traders.

The ghost dance which celebrated the hope of white settlers picking up and leaving just for there buffalo to come back and be reunited with their ancestors. The government wanted to bane this dance and the only way they thought they could was to steal Sitting Bull, the Lakota chief. He was seen as the leader almost, the reason why they were doing the dance. His people loved him so they fought back, violence broke out. December, 1890 at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, 25 US soldiers died, around 200 Lakota people were killed. The saddest part is they also lost the Sitting Bull, their chief.
