    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin}

    1838: The ONEIDA sign a treaty today.  {Wisconsin}

    RELEVANT LINKS:
    TREATY OF WASHINGTON D.C. WITH THE ONEIDA 
    The Oneida Indian Tribe of Wisconsin


     1880: A band of HUNKPAPA SIOUX have attacked some civilians on the Powder River, in Montana. Sergeant Thomas Glover, 8 men from troop B, 2nd cavalry, and 11 Indian scouts, pursue the "hostiles" for almost 70 miles, and circle them on Pumpkin Creek. A fight ensues and each side loses 1 man. Two Indians, and one soldier is wounded. After reinforcements arrive, 3 of the HUNKPAPAs are captured. 
     

    By the beginning of 1876, the U.S. had ordered all Sioux to  remain on reservation lands, prohibiting their access to hunting grounds guaranteed by the Fort Laramie Treaty. Those venturing off the reservation were considered "hostile" by the U.S. military, and an all-out war ensued. {see link below}

    URGENT HEATING NEED WOUNDED KNEE DISTRICT..READ IT...

    SEASON GIFTING...
    It is that time of year again when we begin to think of winter cold and those in need.  Helping hands list...

    {click for KOTA weather}

    HEATING FUND
    Emergency heating funds....the weather has turned sharply colder and it appears that it will be a much colder winter than the last few we have experienced creating an incredible hardship for many.
    Money orders sent to the Grass Roots Oglala Lakota Oyate will be distributed (or paid on account) for those in need of heating assistance.  In effect we will be creating a "voucher" system.  Your donation may be of any amount and several put together to meet minimums necessary for orders.
