The Dakota Conflict
1805- Beginning of the End


In 1805 and years
prior, the Dakota
Indians were living off
the land now known
as Minnesota.



They enjoyed a rich
life of hunting,
trapping and fishing.
Treaty is signed


Westward expansion
reached Minnesota.



The Dakota signed a treaty
with explorer Zebulon Pike
which allowed US Military to
build a fort and trading post
very near their land - Fort
Snelling.


As a part of the treaty the Dakota were
forced onto very unproductive land.



This caused them to become heavily
dependent on the government for food
and resources.



When the Dakota Indians complained
about their hunger one trader (Andrew
Mirek) said, “Let them eat grass!”
Conflict begins


To pay off their debt the Dakota traded off
more of their land.

Then “settlers” began
encroaching upon the
reservation lands

• Traders would charge the Dakota for food and this
drove the tribe’s debts higher.
•Food subsidies also came late or were spoiled when
they came.
•In 1858, a group of Dakota officials were told they
had to move off yet another portion of the
reservation.
More trouble!


Dakota became angry about lack of food
and lack of land.



Indians had to start foraging for food.
Some stole eggs and vegetables from a
white man’s farm.



The Indians were “tried” and executed.
The Dakota Conflict of 1862




Dakota people reached their breaking point.
They attacked the Indian Agency at Fort
Ridgely, and killed nearly all the troops.
They also attacked New Ulm, burning down a
good percentage of the city.

The Indians took several
white settlers hostage.

Governor Ramsey tried to get Little Crow
to surrender but he refused unless
amnesty could be granted for his people.
 The fighting finally
ended at Wood Lake
and Little Crow fled,
to only be shot later
by a farmer while he
was picking berries.
 Many of the Dakota
fled and those who
didn’t surrendered.

The result


The women, children, and elders
who surrendered were brought to
Fort Snelling to be held in a prison.



The men were brought to Mankato to be “tried”
and executed. Some died on the way, and some
died in prison awaiting their trial.



425 Dakota were tried. The government wanted
to execute all 308 men they believed to be
guilty, but the number was brought down to 38
by President Lincoln.
Execution


Even though Lincoln didn’t allow the
execution of all 308 men, this was still the
largest mass execution in American
History.
Afterward:
 All

treaties with
the tribes were
canceled. The
Dakota were
forced to move
to South Dakota.
Roles and responsibilities in the
Dakota Conflict

Americans

The dakota conflict - A Brief History

  • 2. 1805- Beginning of the End  In 1805 and years prior, the Dakota Indians were living off the land now known as Minnesota.  They enjoyed a rich life of hunting, trapping and fishing.
  • 3. Treaty is signed  Westward expansion reached Minnesota.  The Dakota signed a treaty with explorer Zebulon Pike which allowed US Military to build a fort and trading post very near their land - Fort Snelling.
  • 4.  As a part of the treaty the Dakota were forced onto very unproductive land.  This caused them to become heavily dependent on the government for food and resources.  When the Dakota Indians complained about their hunger one trader (Andrew Mirek) said, “Let them eat grass!”
  • 5. Conflict begins  To pay off their debt the Dakota traded off more of their land. Then “settlers” began encroaching upon the reservation lands 
  • 6. • Traders would charge the Dakota for food and this drove the tribe’s debts higher. •Food subsidies also came late or were spoiled when they came. •In 1858, a group of Dakota officials were told they had to move off yet another portion of the reservation.
  • 7. More trouble!  Dakota became angry about lack of food and lack of land.  Indians had to start foraging for food. Some stole eggs and vegetables from a white man’s farm.  The Indians were “tried” and executed.
  • 8. The Dakota Conflict of 1862   Dakota people reached their breaking point. They attacked the Indian Agency at Fort Ridgely, and killed nearly all the troops. They also attacked New Ulm, burning down a good percentage of the city. The Indians took several white settlers hostage. 
  • 9. Governor Ramsey tried to get Little Crow to surrender but he refused unless amnesty could be granted for his people.  The fighting finally ended at Wood Lake and Little Crow fled, to only be shot later by a farmer while he was picking berries.  Many of the Dakota fled and those who didn’t surrendered. 
  • 10. The result  The women, children, and elders who surrendered were brought to Fort Snelling to be held in a prison.  The men were brought to Mankato to be “tried” and executed. Some died on the way, and some died in prison awaiting their trial.  425 Dakota were tried. The government wanted to execute all 308 men they believed to be guilty, but the number was brought down to 38 by President Lincoln.
  • 11. Execution  Even though Lincoln didn’t allow the execution of all 308 men, this was still the largest mass execution in American History.
  • 12. Afterward:  All treaties with the tribes were canceled. The Dakota were forced to move to South Dakota.
  • 13. Roles and responsibilities in the Dakota Conflict  Native Americans *Government  White Settlers
