The cow was slaughtered, which led to a conflict between the US Army and Lakota Sioux. The US Army demanded that the Sioux turn over whoever killed the cow, but the Sioux refused, offering horses as reparation instead. This sparks a conflict that left 29 US soldiers dead.

In 1874, Custer's Expedition discovers gold in the region, leading to over 1000 miners settling in the area by 1875. The US eventually claims ownership of the Black Hills through an illegitimate change of the original treaty.
