What was life in the West like before White Settlers? After? • Native American tribes like the Sioux and Cherokee led strong community driven lives in the Great Plains revolving around the Buffalo. • White Settlers moved westward making land claims and interrupting the Plains Tribes lives. • Discovery of gold in Colorado in 1858 pushed even more people from the east.
What conflicts did Whites and Native Americans have? What were the attempts to resolve them, and howdid they go? • Native Americans resisted early boundary lines imposed on them with deadly results. • The Massacre at Sand Creek and Battle of the Hundred Slain were some of the clashes that eventually led to the Treaty of Fort Laramie. • Soon after this treaty, Colonel Custer intruded into Native American territory and found gold. • Underestimating the Sioux, Custer was defeated at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
What was Assimilation, and what was the ultimate result? • Despite the continued horrible treatment of the Native Americans by the U.S government, the Natives still had white supporters. • Many of those supporters backed the idea of assimilation, the Native Americans giving up their culture and taking up “white” culture. • The Dawes Act as a part of this idea, falsely promised land and money to Native Americans. • With buffalos gone the Sioux suffered, leading up to the events of the “Battle of Wounded Knee” ending the era of Indian Wars.
How did the Cowboy lifestyle get started, and how was it linked to the cattle industry? • As the buffalo and Plains Tribe disappeared, cattle flourished. • As this new industry was born, so to was the Cowboy. • The American Cowboy borrowed much from the Mexican Vaquero or Rancher. • The Chisholm Trial and Abilene Railroad established a strong supply route out of Texas. • As quick as it rose, the Open Range Era fell, as ranchers changed their habits and turned to barbed-wire fences to control their herds.
