Explanation:

- 1866-1868: The Red Cloud's War was fought between the Lakota, the Cheyenne and the Arapaho and the United States in the territories of Wyoming and Montana from 1866 to 1868. The central issue of the war was the control over the territory of the Powder River in the north of Wyoming. The Americans had built the Bozeman Route through it, which was the main route to Montana's gold fields. The route was used by an increasing number of miners, emigrant settlers and others, who competed with the Cheyenne and Lakota for resources and their usurped territory. With the peace achieved under the Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868, the Cheyenne and Lakota achieved victory in this war. They gained recognized control of the territory of the Powder River.

- April 29 to November 6, 1868: The Treaty of Fort Laramie was an agreement between the United States and the Lakota, Yanktonai Dakota and Arapaho tribes signed in 1868 at Fort Laramie in the Territory of Wyoming, which guaranteed the Native Americas the property of the Black Hills, and lands and hunting rights in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. The territory of the Powder River was going to be closed from then on to all the whites. The treaty ended the Red Cloud War.

- 1874: The Black Hills Gold Rush took place from 1874 in an area still untouched by any white presence and considered a sacred sanctuary for the Lakota and Cheyenne Sioux.

- June 25 to 26, 1876: The Battle of Little Bighorn was an armed confrontation between the combined forces of the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle took place on June 25 and 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River, in the territory of Montana, and was the most prominent action of the Black Hills War of 1876. The confrontation resulted in an overwhelming victory of the Native American coalition.
