Great Native American Nations

Lakota Sioux: Indians of the Midwest (#102)

The Lakota had been used to dominating the high plains country. As they lost much of their lands to white settlement, the Black Hills became their sanctuary. Then gold was discovered there, forcing Lakota and white Americans into warfare. Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Black Elk are Sioux names that will be long remembered.
