  15. What led the Plains Indians to death and/or reservations? B

  16. One of the worst ways white men affected Native Americans is by killing most of their buffalo 1913-1938 B

  17. Whites used them for food for those people building the railroads. They would sometimes just shoot the for the fun of it (as a sport). Or, they would shoot them so they wouldn’t get in the way of the trains that were starting to pass through the West Why get rid of all the buffalo? B

  22. One way to look for peace was to promise Native Americans some land on what we’d now call reservations (14/16) There ended up being more raids and attacks (land set aside for Native Americans) B

  23. One place given to these Native Americans was in the Black Hills of South Dakota Until… the U.S. government found out there was gold there, and they wanted it back B

  24. Two other famous battles: • The Sand Creek Massacre (13) • Wounded Knee B

  25. B

  26. On that day, in an atmosphere of mutual distrust it took only the firing of one gun to begin the brutal killing of most of the 350 Indian men, women and children. Twenty-five of the 492 soldiers and scouts were also killed. It has been called both a battle and a massacre, but what Wounded Knee has come to symbolize is a clash of cultures and a failed government-Indian policy; its effects still felt even today. “Wounded Knee (30)” B

  27. There were still about 50 times more whites than Indians (And those odds were growing) B

  28. Chief Joseph (25), Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Red Cloud B

  29. The Dawes Act (32) was passed by Congress • It was intended to help out Native Americans • by teaching them to live more of a lifestyle like white farmers did, but you can imagine how well that worked B

  30. “When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre.” Chiksika (a Shawnee): B
