The Dakotan people (part of the Sioux) had a problem with the miners because they agreed to live on a remote reservation in exchange for annuities (food and supplies) that often never reached them. In this period of time the Dakota were struggling and starving, so when the settlers refused to provide food on credit, they staged and uprising that killed hundreds of citizens. In the end more than 300 Dakota were sentenced to death, until President Lincoln managed to reduce the number to 38 while the rest eventually fled to the reservations and became exiles in their own land.]]> 2021-10-28 14:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851599336 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851608933 Native Americans continued to resist U.S. orders and performed rituals that the U.S. feared would lead to violence. They turned their attention to Chief Sitting Bull, who they thought was the source of the problem. Other supporters tried go stop the arrest and were killed alongside the Chief. A later battle took the lives of 25 U.S. soldiers and 200 Lakota men woman and children.]]> 2021-10-28 14:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851608933 roswald214 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851612687  In 1876 prospectors from the Lakota reservation headed to the Black hills in search of mining gold. They didn't understand the treaty of settlers so they left to hunt in the Bighorn Mountains of Montana. The government then got involved and sent an expedition to fight the Lakota and launched an attack on June 25th, 1876. The lakota quickly defeated Custer who was leading the battle and had killed all of his soldiers. Once the newspaper got ahold of the information they painted Custer as a victim and quickly portrayed the Lakota as leaders of a massacre. The Lakota fled to Canada and/or returned to the reservation in the Black hills due to threats from the army. ]]> 2021-10-28 14:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851612687 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851616566 In Colorado, tensions rose between the new mining settlers searching for gold and the Cheyenne/Arapaho tribes. The Native Americans began attacking settler homes and wagons until they were persuaded to surrender at Fort Lyon. Those who did not surrender negotiated a peace treaty, however their camp was attacked by another group of settlers during the meeting.]]> 2021-10-28 15:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851616566 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1851628678

Leading up this act being passed, Americans were trying to Americanize Native Americans. At first they did this by putting in American schools on the reservations. The Native's were required to act like American kids and the discipline there was very strict. Lots of abuse was reported from those schools and they proved to be unsuccessful which caused the Dawes Act. This divided up the reservation land into plots of land for the Native Americans to farm. Each family was given a certain amount of land and if they stayed on their allotments for 25 years, they were granted American citizenship. Very few Native Americans actually stayed long enough to get their citizenship which meant this act was incredibly ineffective.]]> 2021-11-01 15:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/7skj7xpfk9wf7svh/wish/1859140821
