holy man who is raised in the Lakota Sioux nation’s Oglala band, uses his visions to prescribe solutions for his people. He witnesses various events that shape his life such as the massacre at Wounded Knee and the Ghost Dance. Black Elk is an uncharacteristic member of the Sioux nation, particularly due to his youthful visions and final emergence as the Sioux medicine man with healing and prophetic powers. His great experiences give a deep insight into how the Sioux related with nature. By the time Black

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), a pipeline that runs from the Dakotas to Illinois, is currently under construction in the sacred land of the Standing Rock Sioux Native American tribe. This tribe, along with many other tribes, is leading boycotts against the pipeline. They fear the 30-inch diameter tube will risk pollution and oil spills in their primary water source: the Missouri River. However, since the land is owned by the Federal Government, they have the final say in what happens, whether

helps them see that not all Natives are killers or thieves. Near the beginning of the film it showed the Sioux initially wanting to just kill Dunbar, it also shows them rethinking and deciding to try to become allies instead. This scene would have helped show that Native Americans don’t always just rush in attacking, and that they are able to be friendly if they choose to. In the movie, after the Sioux accepts that Dunbar isn’t an enemy, they approach him and give him a buffalo hide. This is quite

Sioux Sitting Bull Alyssia Menezes March-April, 2017 One of the most important people in the Sioux tribe is Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotȟake (in lacota) more commonly known as Sitting Bull. He was born in 1831 near the Grand River, in what we now call South Dakota. Sitting Bull was a warrior, and killed his first buffalo at just the age of ten. The members of his tribe, the Lakota Sioux, named him Sitting Bull because his courage was like a bison that would hold it’s ground instead of flee from hunters. Even

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is located where the pipeline will be passing through. The pipeline disrupts the lives of the Native Americans who live there. I believe that the Dakota Access Pipeline should not be built because of the affects on the environment and goes against the rights of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Greider and Garkovich’s Landscapes: The Social Construction of Nature and the Environment discusses how the environment we live in is apart of our landscape. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe sees

declared that all Sioux Indians not in reservations would have to be subjugated by Custer’s troops. Many Sioux refused to cooperate, and Custer began to attack. At the battle of Little Bighorn, in June 1876, Custer split his troops, and a larger force of Indians wiped out all of his men. After this defeat, the army took a different course by harassing the Sioux in attrition. Indians eventually lost the will to resist as these strategies were commonly successful against the Sioux. In the December of

ownership of 25 million acres of land, now known as the Great Sioux Reservation, only to be occupied by Indian people (“Treaty of Fort Laramie” Article 2). While this treaty kept the peace for a few years, the United States government soon reneged on the agreement and allowed miners to enter reservation lands to look for gold. Eventually, the government decided to use military force to retake the land from the Sioux people and so began the Great Sioux War. In response to the US government’s illegal actions

River Country proved the strength of the Native Americans and helped provide better Native American rights in the future. In order to put an end to Red Cloud’s War, the Treaty of Fort Laramie was signed on November 6, 1868. The treaty provided the Sioux with land, education, farming supplies, clothes, money, doctors, carpenters, and teachers, and stated that no white men could reside on the reservation without permission, Indians could hunt outside the reservation, treaties taking land away could

First, and foremost, the battle between the white man and the Indian Nation is a poignant historical portrayal of what took place at the Wounded Knee Massacre. It was all set in motion in the “Moon When the Deer Shed Their Horns”, a Sioux moon of December. The Sioux were so distraught about the assassination of Sitting Bull; they could not muster an uprising. The Ghost Dance was their only hope to eradicate the white man. “There was no hope on earth, and God seemed to have forgotten us. Some
