A Sioux Chronicle

Description

Though confined to the great Dakota reservation in 1878| the still-defiant Sioux did not end their struggle with the white man until well into the twentieth century. Throughout the last decades of the nineteenth century the Sioux-finding themselves united for the first time in their history-waged a cold war with the United States Department of the Interior| the Indian Bureau| the various Indian agents sent to supervise Sioux Reservation life| and the so-called Indian Friends of the East| who sought to “school and church” the Sioux into submission.
