Questions for Consideration 1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the documents and drawings reproduced in this book as sources for understanding or reconsidering Plains Indian history and the history of the Arnerican West? 2. What do the sources in this book tell us about the lives and experi­ ences of Plains Indians? What do they omit? 3. Which, if any, ofthe sources appear (a) to be of dubious authenticity; (b) to betray the influence of non-Indian editors or interpreters; or (c) to have been created consciously for a white audience? 4. The Great Plains region in the early nineteenth century has been described as "a world in flux." To what extent do the sources justify this description? 5. Account for the relatively rapid defeat of the Plains Indians by the United States in the second half of the nineteenth century. 6. What do the sources in this book reveal about the different ways in which Indian people responded to the demands and pressures im­ posed by the United States government in the late nineteenth cen­ tury? 7. In what ways did the lives of Plains Indian people change between 1800 and 1900? In what ways, if any, did their lives display continuity and resilience? 8. Two Leggings said that "nothing happened" after his people were confined to the reservation. What evidence do the sources in this book provide to help us (a) understand this reaction and (b) refute this statement? 211 Selected Bibliography The literature on the history and culture of the Plains Indians is volumi­ nous.

  • Plains Indians
    Your Name Keyboarding II xx Period Mr. Behling Current Date Plains Indians The American Plains Indians are among the best known of all Native Americans. These Indians played a significant role in shaping the history of the West. Some of the more noteworthy Plains Indians were Big Foot, Black Kettle, Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Spotted Tail. Big Foot Big Foot (?1825-1890) was also known as Spotted Elk. Born in the northern Great Plains, he eventually became a Minneconjou Teton Sioux chief. He was part of a tribal delegation that traveled to Washington, D. C., and worked to establish schools throughout the Sioux Territory. He was one of those massacred at Wounded Knee in December 1890 (Bowman, 1995, 63). Black Kettle Black Kettle (?1803-1868) was born near the Black Hills in present-day South Dakota. He was recognized as a Southern Cheyenne peace chief for his efforts to bring peace to the region. However, his attempts at accommodation were not successful, and his band was massacred at Sand Creek in 1864. Even though he continued to seek peace, he was killed with the remainder of his tribe in the Washita Valley of Oklahoma in 1868 (Bowman, 1995, 67). Crazy Horse Crazy Horse (?1842-1877) was also born near the Black Hills. His father was a medicine man; his mother was the sister of Spotted Tail. He was recognized as a skilled hunter and fighter. Crazy Horse believed he was immune from battle injury and took part in all the major Sioux battles to protect the Black Hills against white intrusion.

The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

  • Campbell County History
    Campbell County History Early Expeditions: Information about the first European explorers and trappers to enter the Powder River Basin is very limited and confirmation on exact routes and locations will never be known. Some of the earliest expeditions believed to have been in the region include the Francois and Louis-Joseph Verendrye in 1743, Charles LaRaye in 1802, and Francois Antoine Laroque in 1805. Wyoming historian T. A. Larson believes the first American trapper in Northeast Wyoming was John Colter during the winter of 1807-1808. He returned three years later with Alexander Henry and approximately thirty other trappers. Ezekiel Williams and Jean Baptiste Champlain and a party of twenty-one trappers worked the Belle Fourche River in 1911. That same year saw Wilson Price Hunt and an expedition of men sent out by John Jacob Astor crossed the basin. The overland Astorians, as they became known, were headed for the Columbia River drainage and envisioned a series of fur trading posts stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. The Powder River Basin was not prime trapping country, but was often traversed in order to get to the better streams to the west and also was used as a winter camp location by trappers. Robert Campbell and a party of Rocky Mountain Fur Company men spent the winter on Powder River in 1828. Father DeSmet, a Jesuit priest, traveled through the basin in 1851 and made reference to the “Gourd Buttes,” which are now known as the Pumpkin Buttes in Campbell County. A wealthy Irishman by the name of Sir George Gore and a large party of men and wagons entered the basin in 1855 on an extravagant hunting and fishing expedition.

Yale Collection of Western Americana, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, 1004474. 2 ❖ Copyrighted Material ❖ CHAPTER ONE ❖ The Southern Plains Wars, Fort Marion, and Representational Art Drawings by Zotom and Howling Wolf, the one a Kiowa Indian and the other a South- ern Cheyenne, are histories of a place and time of creation—Fort Marion, Florida, in the 1870s. These two men were among seventy-two Southern Plains Indian warriors and chiefs selected for incarceration at Fort Marion, in Saint Augustine, at the end of the Southern Plains wars. Among the Cheyenne prisoners was a woman who had fought as a warrior; the wife and young daughter of one of the Comanche men also went to Florida, but not as prisoners. During their three years in exile, Zotom, Howling Wolf, and many of the other younger men made pictures narrating incidents of life on the Great Plains, their journey to Florida, and life at Fort Marion. The drawings explored in this book also have a history subsequent to their creation, a history connected to the patron of the drawings and her ownership of them. Other audiences who have seen and studied Zotom’s and Howling Wolf’s drawings are part of the works’ continuing histories, too. Plains Indian drawings and paintings, including works created by men imprisoned at Fort Marion, were visual narratives, intended to tell stories. Those stories still live, for history is, simply put, composed of stories about the past.

  • Rosebud and Wolf Mountains Battlefields Under Siege
    ROSEBUD AND WOLF MOUNTAINS BATTLEFIELDS UNDER SIEGE A Case Study in Threats to the Spirit of Place CHERE JIUSTO Montana Preservation Alliance 120 Reeder’s Alley Helena, Montana, U.S.A. 59601 [email protected] AND LYNDA B. MOSS Foundation for Community Vitality 611 N 31st Street Billings, Montana, U.S.A. 59101 [email protected] Abstract. This paper discusses the deeply seated spirit of battlefields and places of conflict, the need to recognize various cultural perspectives at such places, and the grave threats posed to sites of high cultural value by global energy development. Using Montana’s Rosebud and Wolf Mountains Battlefields, two pristine but threatened sites, and pending United States National Historic Landmarks, as case studies, the authors will address the complex challenges and strategies for preserving such places. No sites embody a more conflicted spirit of place than battlefields, where heroic sacrifice and tragic human failures resonate across time. The spirit of conflicted places has layered meaning, reflecting different significance for people of divergent cultural perspectives. Thus, when a site represents the experience of several culture groups, seeking to preserve the spirit is a nuanced assignment. To truly preserve the spirit of such places, it is important to consult people from all sides of the story, and to seek broad understanding and definition of the values of place. And ultimately, in seeking consensus, there must also be a true willingness to save, rather than develop, the cultural landscape. 2 CHERE JIUSTO AND LYNDA B. MOSS 1. Territorial Conflict on the Northern Plains Eastern Montana falls within a geographic region known as the Northern Plains, a large grasslands environment that until the late 1800s was home to vast herds of buffalo and native equestrian cultures.

By using the Plains Indian Wars as a case study, a critique can be made of theories which inform predictive models and genocide policy. This thesis analyzes newspaper articles, histories, congressional investigations, presidential speeches, and administrative policies surrounding the four primary massacres perpetrated by the United States during this time. An ideology of racial superiority and fears of insecurity, impurity, and insurgency drove the actions of the white settler-colonialists and their military counterparts.
