Explanations 1. Forced to give up their traditional way of life, many Native Americans did not easily adapt to their new lives on homesteads. Also, much of the land given to the Native Americans was in deserts and was unsuitable for farming. After the reservations had been divided into homesteads and given to Native American families, the land that was left over was opened up to white settlers. As a result of this process, the Native Americans lost much of their territory. 2. An Indian Messiah, a holy man known as Wovoka, believed he had received God's word that the Native Americans would be renewed. He believed that by participating in a dance known as the Ghost Dance, all deceased Native Americans from past generations would return to Earth, and the white man would disappear. Followers began practicing this dance and became increasingly more violent, leading to intervention by the U.S. 9/11 https://www64.studyisland.com/cfw/test/print-practice-worksheet/a854b?CFID=23582778&CFTOKEN…

Followers began practicing this dance and became increasingly more violent, leading to intervention by the U.S. Army. While attempting to arrest Chief Sitting Bull, a gun battle broke out, and the chief, along with numerous others, were shot and killed. 5. The increasing flow of settlers out into western territories negatively impacted Native Americans as the government decided to take more and more of their land away. Native Americans were forced to live on reservations in order to make room for settlers. 7. Quanah Parker was a leader of the Comanche tribe who led a group of 700 warriors against a group of buffalo hunters that were hunting on the tribe's lands. The attack near the Adobe Walls trading post was the first in a series of battles that became known as the Red River War. Better weapons such as the long-range rifle meant that the hunters were able to win the war and the Comanche tribe had to settle on reservations. 9. In 1851, the U.S. government passed the Indian Appropriations Act, forcing Native Americans to move onto reservations to make room for more white settlement. Native Americans, however, did not go easily or willingly. Decades of battles over this forced movement followed. 11. During an expedition led by George Custer in 1874, several people found gold near what is now Custer, South Dakota. Many people soon followed, and the Black Hills Gold Rush was underway. In 1876, the Homestake deposit was found, and the town of Deadwood was established. Thousands of miners were on Indian territory. This increased the tension that existed between the United States and the Native Americans. 13. Chief Sitting Bull was the leader of the Lakota Sioux. When his tribe was ordered off their land and onto reservations, the Sioux resisted. The Seventh Cavalry of the U.S. Army, commanded by Colonel George Armstrong Custer, came upon the Sioux encampment on the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 1876. A battle ensued, and Custer's force was annihilated by the Sioux. 14. The last armed conflict between the United States and the Native Americans took place at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in December 1890. At the end of the battle, around 150 Native Americans were killed, including women and children. 15. The Wounded Knee Massacre took place in 1890 and marked the end of the Plains Wars. The Lakota Sioux engaged in a battle with the U.S. Army near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. Prior to this event, many Lakota believed that by participating in the "ghost dance," their deceased relatives would rejoin them, and life would return to the way it was prior to white man's encroachment onto their lands. Angry over this disruption, the government attempted to relocate the tribe, and soon violence erupted. Nearly 150 Native American men, women, and children were killed, including Chief Big Foot. 17. Red Cloud was a Sioux leader who was concerned about the loss of prestige of his tribe. In order to gain support of ordinary citizens, Red Cloud visited the Cooper Union school in New York City in June 1870. His speech focused on the issues that the Sioux tribe had with people moving on to their land and ignoring signed treaties. He was hoping that people would help the tribe after he had failed to get help from President Ulysses S. Grant. 18. The U.S. Government opened the land of the Nez Perce to white settlement. Chief Joseph attempted to lead his people to Canada to seek refuge from the advancement of the white settlers. He was stopped at the border by the U.S. Army and spoke those famous words. His people were sent to the region known as Indian Territory. 20. In 1877, Chief Joseph led a group of Nez Perce through Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana with the hopes of reaching freedom in Canada. Less than fifty miles from the Canadian border, U.S. troops surrounded the Nez Perce, at which point Chief Joseph surrendered. 27. Bison were the main food source for many Native Americans in North America. During the mid to late 1800s, bison numbers grew close to extinction after the U.S. Army actively promoted their slaughter. The U.S. was trying to weaken the Native American population by eliminating their food source and forcing them onto reservations. 30. Chief Sitting Bull was the leader of the Lakota Sioux. When his tribe was ordered off their land and onto reservations, the Sioux resisted. The Seventh Cavalry of the U.S. Army, commanded by Colonel George Armstrong Custer, came upon the Sioux encampment on the Little Big Horn River on June 25, 1876.

The U.S. was trying to weaken the Native American population by eliminating their food source and forcing them onto reservations. 32. The government attempted to assimilate the Native Americans into "American" culture. As part of this process, young Native children were forced into American boarding schools where they were forced to let go of their own heritage and learn about the "right way of life." 34. The Dawes Act was passed in 1887 by the U.S. government. This piece of legislation broke up large plots of Native American lands into smaller 160-acre lots and distributed them to individual Native American families. After the land was divided, extra pieces were sold to whites, so whites actually gained control of much land that https://www64.studyisland.com/cfw/test/print-practice-worksheet/a854b?CFID=23582778&CFTOKEN…

After the land was divided, extra pieces were sold to whites, so whites actually gained control of much land that had been held by Native Americans. 36. Also known as Custer's Last Stand, the Battle of Little Bighorn was one of the last victories for the Native Americans. Chiefs Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse led over 2,500 warriors against a group of 264 U.S. soldiers led by Lieutenant Colonel George Custer. 38. This quotation clearly shows the idea of Native American assimilation. President Grant is stating that through the forced relocation to reservations, Native Americans are accepting "civilization" and avoiding the only other alternative — extermination. 40. Red Cloud was a Sioux leader who was concerned about the loss of prestige of his tribe. In order to gain support of ordinary citizens, Red Cloud visited the Cooper Union school in New York City in June 1870. His speech focused on the issues that the Sioux tribe had with people moving on to their land and ignoring signed treaties. He was hoping that people would help the tribe after he had failed to get help from President Ulysses S. Grant. 41.

As a result of this process, the Native Americans lost much of their territory. 45. By the end of the 19th century, the buffalo had been nearly hunted to extinction. Native Americans had hunted buffalo for their hides and meat. In the late 1800s, the hunting of buffalo by white people increased. With a high demand for the buffalo hides, white hunters killed as many buffalo as possible. High-powered rifles made their work easier. Native Americans continued to hunt buffalo as well and contributed to their demise. 46. The Dawes Act was passed in 1887 by the U.S. government.
