A Native American Chief Explains the Source of Indian-Settler Conflict
Red Cloud, an Oglala Lakota chief, led a two year war against white settlers and railroad outposts between 1866 and 1868. Red Cloud's War, sometimes called the Powder River War, took place in parts of the Wyoming and Montana territories that were the traditional homelands of Lakota, Arapaho and Cheyenne peoples. Spotted Tail, who refrained from the fight, was asked to explain to federal agents and military leaders the reasons for Red Cloud's war in 1867.

Lesson
Using the portrait as a visual prompt, write a story about Red Cloud’s visit to Washington, D.C., from the perspective of Red Cloud himself. Then write a story using the same events and details, but tell it from the point of view of a U.S. government official or the photographer Charles M. Bell. Finally, use the same details and events to write a newspaper article describing Red Cloud’s visit.
