Today in class we are looking at events between Native American tribes in the West and the U.S. Government. Starting with the Fort Laramie treat of 1861 and ending with the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890, we are looking at some events during that time.
Through a series of broken treaties, violence on both sides, and overwhelming firepower and tactics on the part of U.S. soldiers, the Indian tribes of the West eventually submitted to the reservation system set up for them by the U.S. Government.
