Eventually, Chief Black Kettle of the Cheyenne brought hundreds of his tribe to Fort Lyon to negotiate a peace treaty. The Forts commander told the Cheyenne to stay at Sand Creek while he waited to get instructions on what to do. While the Cheyenne were at Sand Creek, Colonel John Chivington of the Colorado Volunteers attacked the Native Americans, killing an estimated 69-600 Native Americans.]]> 2021-10-27 14:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/6t5cmcvkuh5uevq9/wish/1848517017 adavis495 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/6t5cmcvkuh5uevq9/wish/1848517962  1866: The U.S began building forts along Bozeman Trail (Montana's gold mines).

This act altered the reservation system by dividing reservation land into allotments for farming and ranching. 160 acres were allotted each head of household under the act, 80 acres to each single adult and 40 acres to each child. All of the land allotments remaining would then be sold to American settlers, these proceeds gave a trust to the native Americans who have stayed on the allotments for at least 25 years. Native Americans often found their allotments too small to be profitable, so they leased them. Overall, the Dawes act failed in its goals but, American reformers continued to advocate for assimulation.]]> 2021-10-27 15:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/6t5cmcvkuh5uevq9/wish/1848538418 vjohns972 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/6t5cmcvkuh5uevq9/wish/1848566533 In 1869 Congress formed an Indian Peace Commission. It proposed the creation of two large reservations which would be run by federal agents. One reservation was for the Sioux and the other was for Native Americans of the southern plains.

All of Custer's men were killed in battle and about 50 of Sitting Bull's followers were killed as well. This battle was significant because it proved to be the height of Native American power during the 19th century and was the U.S.'s worst defeat during the plain wars. ]]> 2021-10-27 15:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/6t5cmcvkuh5uevq9/wish/1848594963
