This caused the creation of the reservation system and the government tried to set boundaries and to separate the Indians. However the Whites did not understand the structure of the Indians and caused more problems and eventually pushed the Indians into smaller plots of land. ]]> 2021-02-12 17:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1197360105 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201419482 This act allowed settlers to acquire new land. They can have as much as 160 acres of land. They had to live on the land for 5 years by improving it and then they would have to pay a small fee. This marked a drastic departure for the previous policy. ]]> 2021-02-14 16:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201419482 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201424877 This event was a huge massacre by the U.S. army. This was a large attack on Indian tribes and homes and it was an unprovoked attack. This marked a turn in a relationship between different Indian tribes and the federal government. ]]> 2021-02-14 16:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201424877 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201429512 The completion of this railroad made the west very easy to access. This helped increase trade, business, and population because more settlers moved west. It helped shaped the west and allowed the country to come together because now the west and east are connected. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201429512 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201434989 This was one of the battles the Indians were able to win in the plain wars. This battle showed the Americans that this was at a time where the Indians were at their strongest. However in the end this was short lived and the Indians had a hard time living because their food source which was the buffalo and were being killed off by Americans and it resulted almost into extinction. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201434989 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201446686 This was like the kid of the movement of reform Indian policy. The act basically dissolved many tribes as legal entities and it wiped out any tribal ownership of land. The Indians were promised that if they were good then they would get their title back to their holdings as well as citizenship but it would take 25 years. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201446686 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201452483 It started with Christian reformers who were trying to get rid of any religious things with the Indians. So they tried to persuade the federal government which worked to get rid of the Sun Dance. When the getting rid of dance spread to the Dakota Sioux army stomped out many at the battle and many Indian people died due to being provoked. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201452483 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201458349 Around this time many Christian reformers wanted the Indians to become Christian. This assimilation also sparked many books to be written about the mistreatment of Indians and it caused more sympathy for them. However the Christian reformers who would impose educational facilities on the reservation would withhold food to force the Indians to give up their tribal religions and assimilate to white society. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201458349 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201464030 This was a very large court case against each other. The court held that the Sioux nation may have and pursue a claim against the untied States and it did not violate the doctrine of separation of powers. Then all of the property that was taken from the Indians had to be compensated with interest. However the Indians did not accept the compensation. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201464030 200900276 https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201475212 This was important because many employees were hit by depression and cutting wages. So in retaliation the workers would overturn Pullman cars and paralyzed railway traffic. This was the first time that the federal government would be involved with federal troops and this strike changed many people's perspectives. ]]> 2021-02-14 17:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/200900276/4fjkc02ho6imdnx0/wish/1201475212
