to summarize: natives had been fought & pushed to reservations in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Whites discovered gold on these lands & broke every treaty & forced the natives onto even worse land.
a peaceful native preacher had a vision of the ghost dance...which would bring the buffalo back & make the white man disappear
white man didnt like that..got scared. (history repeating itself like a motherfucker)
white man called in more white men.
hot heads started shooting.
this was the result.
the masses of americans excused this in its immd after math too. hypocritical ass people.
