Indian Battles and Policies

This timeline chart outlines significant battles and policies impacting Native Americans in the U.S., with a particular focus on the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), the Battle of Little Bighorn (1876), and the Dawes Act (1887). The culmination of these tensions led to the tragic events at Wounded Knee (1890), where a confrontation between the U.S. 7th Cavalry and Sioux resulted in the deaths of 200-300 Sioux, including women and children. This resource fosters critical discussion about historical narratives from both U.S. military and Sioux perspectives.
