Native American timeline

By Sofiaullberg

  • General Custer dies in the Battle of Big Horn with the Lakota Sioux.

    I think this is an important event because General George Armstrong Custer and his troops got killed.

  • Chief Sitting Bulls surrenders to U.S. troops.

    Because he was send to prison and I think it’s interesting.

  • Over 300 Lakota Sioux die in the Wounded Knee Massacre.

    Very many people died and it was mostly women and children.

  • Robert Latham Owen becomes the first Native American senator.

    I think it’s big because it was the first time someone became a Native American senator.

  • Jim Thorpe is named the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century.

    I think it’s important because I love sports and I know that many people also do that.

  • The first Indian casino opens in Florida.

    I think it’s important because casinos has been very big.
