Film Review: Chief Sitting Bull And Crazy Horse

Information. The Indians knew the 7thCavalry were coming allowing Sitting Bull to mass his forces. Custer had no idea of the size, location, or weapons prior to the actual conflict. Had he known these factors he wouldn’t have split his forces leaving him spread thin at Custer hill and he would have taken a different approach to attacking the Native Americans.

At that location was the great Chief Black Kettle. During this time Chief Black Kettle had made it cleared with the Americans that they wanted peace and not war. At their site they were flying the American flag along with a white flag which showed that they wanted peace. Regardless of having both flags flying to informed anyone around them that they were peaceful, COL John Chivington and his militia attacked the Indian Camp. The ending was horrible, COL Chivington and his militia slaughtered 150 men, women, and children. Of course this was not all the killing, there would be more killing from both sides throughout the

July 1868, white settlers were attacked by Indians, 15 men were dead and five women

The conflict that occurred between the U.S. Government and the Native American Indian tribes, known as the Great Sioux War. It was a lengthy, disjointed struggle between the U.S. Army and the allied tribes of the Teton Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians that occurred in the span of fifteen months between, March 1876 and May 18771. Hostilities between the U.S. Government and the Native American Indian tribes grew due to the movement of settlers on the land promised to them. The Northern Plains, which consist of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana, is where the majority of the war took place. The most prominent battle of this war was the Battle of Little Big Horn, due to the amount of casualties taken by the U.S. 7TH Cavalry led

troops were on the pine ridge reservation in South Dakota to quiet the ghost dance disorder of 1890.After the Indian police killed chief sitting bull while trying to arrest him on December 15th on the standing rock his hunkpapa band of the Lakota tribe grew agitated and troop reinforcements arrived.When 200 of the Indians fled southward to Cheyenne river military officials feared a hunkpapa miniconjou coalition.There was about 38 of the hunkpapa joined a more militant group of 350 or so miniconjou ghost dancers led by chief Bigfoot.

Custer lost the battle because he underestimated the number of people on the Indians side. He went in there thinking it would be easy. Clearly, it wasn’t.

Col. George Armstrong Custer was given a order to explore the Black Hills within reservation boundaries. He was also ordered to map and find a comfortable place with enough resources to plant a future military post. While Lt. Col. Custer was exploring the hills words of found gold were being spread by geologists. This lead to Miners and Entrepreneurs invading the land for profit of gold, which violated the treaty directly. When the US tried giving the Lakota prices to buy Black Hills they rejected it, which led to a deadline in January of 1876. It was said that all Sioux report to the reservation on January 31, but when there was no response in return, the task was handed off to the military. (Little Bighorn Battlefield National

Around the 1960s Sitting Bull was named chief and around that time gold was found in the on the Sioux land area called the black the Black Hills. The government found out about his gold and they wanted to buy the the land to land for the gold. The Sioux did not want to sell their land, this caused the government to send out soldiers and fight for the land.

Major Samuel Whitside led the Indians to their camp on Wounded Knee Creek. They allowed to

The world of film has changed dramatically over the last fifty years, both in technology and perceptions on how the industry should work and how it is viewed by the public. The ending of the production code in Hollywood started the cultural change in the industry. With this restrictive institution gone, many directors chose to take advantage of this in many different ways. My favorite of these is Mel Brooks; he chose to break and push boundaries both socially and comedically. Brooks’ style often includes crude humor inlaid with deeper jokes and meaning, many fourth wall breaking moments such as the “We’re in now now” scene of Spaceballs, to stand out in the world of comedy. His masterpiece, Blazing Saddles, is one such film that did just that. Through its new found sense of humor in the post production code era and its twists on common genre tropes of the time, Blazing Saddles was able to find its place into the New Hollywood Cinema.

Arable lands and rumors of gold in the Dakotas continued to attract white migration the government opened a major new war in 1876. Major battlefield encounters like George Armstrong crushers triumph at the battle of the washita in 1868 had been rare or more telling was the Army's destruction of Indian lodges , horses , and food supplies , exemplified by Ronald Mackenzies slaughter of over a thousand Indian ponies following a skirmish at palo duro canyon Texas in

Sitting Bull was trying to gather all of the Lakota under a common banner. Crazy Horse moved his camp to his, and between their reputations, they had gathered the largest Lakota force in history.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as “Cluster’s Last Stand,” which was fought on June 25, 1976 in Montana, U.S. The outcome was indulged for the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne tribes, who presumably will defeat the U.S Army under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and its 7th Calvary. This trounce defeat by the tribes, will consider Indians bloodthirsty by the demise of their enemy. The Indians overwhelmed the 200 men by a cluster of 3,000 men. This insisted the battle was lost by the west, and will always be known as “Cluster’s Last Sand.” A battle that only lasted shortly, and took part of the “Great Sioux War of 1876,” will consider Indians unpredictable in the battle field.

The cut knife battle took place on May 2, 1885 it was lead by Chief Poundmaker. This battle was caused because Chief Poundmaker had his band raid some stores and houses near Battleford, this caused William Otter to fear that more laws would be broken so he sent 325 of his men and only 50 of those men were mounted and only 48 were in wagons they had 2 muzzle loading artillery pieces and a gatling gun. Then the men walked 35 miles in freezing rain then finally when they do reach cut knife hill the Indians realized and hid in the bushes well otters men fire from the hilltop. The artillery guns were useful at first but then broke down and the gatling gun was not much help either because there range is not that long and the Indians were far. By

In 1831 an indian child was born, of the Sioux Nation and the Hunkpapa Tribe. His father, Sitting Bull, and mother, Her-holy-door, did not name him Sitting Bull, he was named Jumping Badger. He was never called Jumping Badger, he was called Slow because of his willful and deliberate ways.
