{EXCERPTED FROM On
This Date In North American Indian History
By Phil Konstantin}
1873: President Grant, by Executive Order, establishes
the Tule River
Preserve. At its height, it will house KAWIA, KINGS
RIVER, MONACHE, TEHON, TULE, and WICHUMNI tribes from the Mission
Tule Agency. It will be 76 square miles. This order, and the preserve,
will be modified by further orders on October 3, 1873, and August 3, 1878.

1879: At Fort Robinson, in northwestern Nebraska, the
CHEYENNEs are
being held in the barracks without food or wood
because they will not return to their reservation. After 5 days, Captain
Henry Wessells orders CHEYENNE Chiefs to his quarters for a conference.
Dull Knife does not go, but Left Hand, Crow and Wild Hog attend.
Wild Hog tells the Captain that the CHEYENNE will never go to Indian Territory,
and they would rather die here. Captain Wessells orders him put in irons
and a fight ensues, with a soldier being stabbed. Left Hand, in manacles,
makes it outside and yells aloud what is happening. Captain Wessells offers
to let the women & children out of the barracks, but they says they
would rather die at the fort than to be forced to go south. That evening,
CHEYENNE warriors recover some hidden rifles, and just before 10pm they
open fire on the soldier guards from their prison barracks. An Army report
calls the barracks a "like a den of rattlesnakes, into
which it was certain death for any white man to go." While the shooting
continues, the CHEYENNE escape from the fort. The soldiers pursue them
and a gunfight develops nearby. Only 38 CHEYENNE are not killed, wounded
or captured during this fight (Dull Knife's daughter is one of the killed).
Most of these 38 will be killed or captured in the next few days.
During the initial day of fighting, 5 soldiers are reported killed, and
7 are wounded.

assistance. In effect we will be creating a "voucher" system.
Your donation may be of any amount and several put together to meet minimums
