Custer, and many others, died to defend stealing gold from Native Americans.
How come the Indians didn't mine it and sell it?? They might STILL BE THERE.. Instead of going back to war with the US...

Perhaps the most important aspect of Native American religion is the conception of creation as a living process, resulting in a living universe in which a kinship exists between all things.www.amacad.org

DId they USE the gold for ceremonial garb? They ran herds of buffalo off of cliffs to cart back 3 to the village.. I grant they had a better appreciation of RESOURCES... But they STILL CONSUMED...
Was the gold KNOWN to them? Did they VALUE it or USE it???
In order to STEAL something... It has to have value to BOTH parties....

It was rather hard to kill buffalo before having horses. It was called Buffalo Jump.
This type of hunting was a communal event that occurred as early as 12,000 years ago and lasted until at least 1500, around the time of the introduction of horses.

White boy fables again. The real reason is that white people had found gold and wanted to take the land back. I'm shocked at your lack of research.Just one of many treaties white people have broken with the NA's. There it is in Black and white yet they lack the moral fortitude to honor their agreement.
Ummm, the Sioux lost the war. Had they not gone to war they would not have lost the Black Hills.

Oh, I know the history, silly girl, and the Sioux decided that they wanted to attack the prospectors and suppliers, which is what precipitated the war.
That's well known history. You should read it.

The white man gave the Indians horses. You're welcome. I think I need reparations from Indians.

The Spaniards were well paid for those horses.
The Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) had granted the Black Hills to the Lakota people in perpetuity, but the United States took the area from the tribe after the Great Sioux War of 1876. Members of the American Indian Movement led an occupation of the monument in 1971, naming it "Mount Crazy Horse", and Lakota holy man John Fire Lame Deer planted a prayer staff on top of the mountain. Lame Deer said that the staff formed a symbolic shroud over the presidents' faces "which shall remain dirty until the treaties concerning the Black Hills are fulfilled."[66]
The 1980 United States Supreme Court decision United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians ruled that the Sioux had not received just compensation for their land in the Black Hills[67], which includes Mount Rushmore.
In 2004, Gerard Baker was appointed as superintendent of the park, the first and so far only Native American in that role. Baker stated that he will open up more "avenues of interpretation", and that the four presidents are "only one avenue and only one focus."[68] The Crazy Horse Memorial is being constructed elsewhere in the Black Hills to commemorate the Native American leader as a response to Mount Rushmore. Upon completion, it will be larger than Mount Rushmore and has the support of Lakota chiefs. The Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation has rejected offers of federal funds, but it is the subject of controversy, even among Native American tribes.[69]
In 2020, in discussing U.S. President Donald Trump's July 3 visit to Mount Rushmore, Nick Tilsen, president of NDN Collective, an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to building Indigenous power; and a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation, stated, "...we have refused to accept the settlement — an amount that has slowly accrued interest and is now well over $1 billion — because we won't settle for anything less than the full return of our lands as stipulated by the treaties our nations signed and agreed upon."[70]

The treaty should have been signed by the Cheyenne. But they were butchered for their land. Didn't want you think that the Pale Face were alone in stealing eh?Did you see my thread showing how the Sioux butchered the Cheyennes beyond belief and stole the Black Hills.

What does that have to do with the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868)?

That's all quite irrelevant at this point in time. You know this.
No, it's not irrelevant. It's never irrelevant. They've never cashed the check.
From the OP:

It's irrelevant. We live in the now. It's US territory.
As I stated above - they have never cashed the check for the stolen land.
So, should one expect an uprising?
I'm not sure yet. It depends on just how far and strong the current wave against racial injustice grows.
A five-minute war that has nothing to do with race.
Billy, you're on the edge of me placing you on permanent ignore.
Any wars that are fought will be in Congress and the courts.

Because they decided they didn't want prospectors in the Black Hills.
They should have talked.

the NAs didn't own the landJust one of many treaties white people have broken with the NA's. There it is in Black and white yet they lack the moral fortitude to honor their agreement.
Ummm, the Sioux lost the war. Had they not gone to war they would not have lost the Black Hills.
Do you know WHY they went to war? It is clearly stated in post #2:
The cause of the war was the desire of the U.S. government to obtain ownership of the Black Hills. Gold had been discovered in the Black Hills, settlers began to encroach onto Native American lands, and the Sioux and Cheyenne refused to cede ownership to the U.S.
