Though the Sioux lived all over the great plains, I decided to place the marker in South Dakota. The birth place of the Sioux/Dakota tribe. The Sioux consisted of 2 lingual divisions within the tribe, the Lakota and the Dakota. During the 19th century the Sioux fought for their lands constantly from other neighboring tribes and raids by the Union army. A Sioux Chief known as "Sitting Bull" uplifted the Sioux people. Telling them they must always fight for their lands no matter what. The Sioux took part in two huge victories during what was known as the "Great Sioux War of 1876". The  first battle being The battle of Little Big Horn where the Sioux  fought the Union army led by George Custer. They handily defeated Custer's forces and the battle resulted in Custer's death. The second big victory being The Wounded Knee massacre. The 7th  cavalry division ran into 300 Sioux soldiers and 25 of the cavalry men were killed. This was the last victory the Sioux would take before having to sign away there land and were forced onto a  reservation.

Mostly because of the way they stayed in one place and started to create a routine and built culture. In 1930 the "Indian Removal Act" was passed by President Andrew Jackson. 2 years later 16,000 Cherokee were forcibly moved to Oklahoma to a reservation. The people's traveled 800 miles on foot and over 4,000 Cherokee died. This was later known as "The Trail of Tears".]]> 2020-10-16 14:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/835696266 424475 https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/835895513 The Anasazi arguably the one of the most ancient know peoples  in North America lived in cliff dwellings in Arizona. The dwellings have now been converted to a national park called Mesa Verde National Park, where this marker is placed. The Anasazi lived in the cliffs because there is a constant water source within the back of the cliff. Archeologist have made the conclusion that for some reason the peoples just dissapeared the exact reason is unknown but some theories are disease, drought, or a mutiny.  I chose to include the Anasazi's in this project because I've been to these cliff dwellings and i thought they were very interesting.

But lived many places before that. The Cheyenne first inhabited  central Minnesota where they farmed, hunted, and gathered wild rice. Minnesota is where they adopted there language, Algonquian. The Cheyenne  moved other places as well before settling in Colorado. Conventional Cheyenne society was composed of 10 significant groups represented by a gathering of 44 chiefs and 7 fighting forces; the Dog Soldiers were the most impressive and forceful of the combatant groups. The Cheyenne greatest enemy were the Kiowa, they fought nonstop up until 1840 when they agreed to peace. Like many other tribes the Cheyenne were constantly raided and attacked by Union soldiers between 1859-1879. In 1864 Union Cavalry destroyed a peaceful Cheyenne village, this was later known as "The Sand Creek Massacre". The Cheyenne were peaceful after that for a while until they joined the Dakota Sioux at the Battle of Little Big Horn.]]> 2020-10-20 14:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/845034184 424475 https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/845187970 Originally the Nez Perce  people occupied an area that included parts of present-day Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. They moved throughout this region and parts of what are now Montana and Wyoming to fish, hunt, and trade. After they acquired horses early in the 18th century, life for the Nez Perce began to change dramatically, at least among some of the smaller groups. In 1855 the Nez Perce agreed to a treaty with the United States that created a large reservation taking most of their traditional land. The 1860 discovery of gold, which generated an influx of thousands of miners and settlers, led U.S. commissioners in 1863 to force renegotiation of the treaty. The new treaty reduced the size of the reservation by three-fourths, and continued pressure from homesteaders and squatters reduced the area even more.]]> 2020-10-20 15:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/845187970 424475 https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/845255155 The Seminole people first lived in southern Georgia but then moved to the Florida Everglades, a patchwork of dense thickets and wetlands that provided protective isolation from outsiders. Their economy emphasized hunting, fishing, and gathering wild foods such as nuts and berries. They lived in log cabins and then thatch roofed abodes. The Seminoles fought constantly to avoid  forced removal to the west. Because of the Seminoles great determination to keep their lands Spain had to withdraw from Florida and surrender the lands to the US.  In 1832 The US offered the Seminole people a treaty but they declined. That decision led to the 2nd Seminole War, This was the costliest native american war ever. It costed the US $20 million dollars. The Seminoles eventually lost the war and were forced out of Florida to Oklahoma where they became one of the 5 "Civilized tribes". But many years later the Seminole people are more accepted by 
Euro-Americans and they regained federal recognition. They currently live in Florida and Oklahoma.]]> 2020-10-20 15:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/424475/61z47s4r4342rrjc/wish/845255155
