Treatment the Sioux got from the Americans and US Government
The Sioux Indians came from Asia which is now Alaska. The way they traveled over was the frozen land bridge which was believed to be there 15,000 years ago. Then they split off to different parts of America. When the Sioux came to America they weren't treated fairly even though they made multiple treaties. They made a treaty with the US but they never kept their promises. So the Sioux would start to attack settlers and kill them. Since they were killing people the US sued and killed many Sioux. The.The Sioux were put on reservations by the US. But then the US tried to take them off of that reservation because the US government found out that there was gold where they had just put the Sioux. The Sioux felt mistreated again because that was suppose to be their land and they keep taking away from them.
