The Comanche emerged as a distinct group shortly before 1700, when they broke off from the Shoshone people[11] living along the upper Platte River in Wyoming. This coincided with their acquisition of the horse, which allowed them greater mobility in their search for better hunting grounds. Their original migration took them to the southern Great Plains, into a sweep of territory extending from the Arkansas River to central Texas. During that time, their population increased dramatically because of the abundance of buffalo, an influx of Shoshone migrants, and the adoption of significant numbers of women and children taken captive from rival groups. The Comanche never formed a single cohesive tribal unit but were divided into almost a dozen
In the 1970’s Peltier travelled to the Midwest and there he met Russell Means, Dennis Banks and other people who had formed the American Indian Movement in 1968, Minneapolis.

The quality of living on the Crow Creek reservation is not very high [4]. The Crow Creek Reservation was created by the 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaty; after the defeat of the Indian tribes in the Indian Wars of 1870 the reservation was then broken down in several smaller reservations [4]. Then in 1889, the United States reclaimed over 7.7 million acres of the South Dakota Sioux’s Black Hills and then assigned many of the families, that were currently living in the Black Hills, to the Crow Creek Reservation that is just south of Chamberlain, South Dakota [4]. Along with splitting up many extended families, the
It was a very large tribe that extended from the Mississippi River to the Arkansas River. Jen Duluth, a French officer in 1976 started a Gallic Standard near the St. Peter Lake. In 1685, the French divided the tribes into seven eastern tribes and nine western tribes. Wounded Knee took place in Pine Ridge of South Dakota, where the tribe took over the town. On December 29, 1890, the Sioux chief, Big Foot, and 350 0f his followers camped on the banks of the creek.
In St. Louis, the United States ended and the wild began. So it was here that the citizens of the young United States traveled across and into the western territories, first with Lewis and Clark and then with countless others. It all began from a wide bend on the continent’s mightiest
The Potawatomi were given the task of keeping alive the Sacred Fire.

In 1833, the Potawatomi lost all of their land east of the Mississippi River in the Treaty of Chicago.

Out of about 15,000 Cherokee that were forcefully moved to the West, about 4,000 died on the road there. Not only was the journey hard, but also, once they got to the Oklahoma territory, they faced the dry plains of the west. They had farmed corn in Georgia but this crop did not grow in the dry plains of the west. They had to start their lives all over again in foreign territory. Andrew Jackson, Congress, the Supreme Court, the state of Georgia and the Cherokee themselves all had huge roles in the Removal, but who had the biggest part?
