Write 6 pages with APA style on The Sioux Uprising of 1862. In the nineteenth century two important treaties had largely contributed in the shooting up deep anguish among the Dakota, by which the Sioux were known. The westward movement of several groups of settlers with their government forced the Dakotas to surrendered massive portion of land by signing the treaties in Traverse des Sioux and in Mendota in July and August of 1851 respectively. For this surrender, the government was to pay an amount of “$1,410,000 in cash and annuity over a fifty year period”. The Sioux were left only with two small reservations of land along the upper Minnesota River by the federal government that established two administrative centers. While the upper Sioux were complacent with the land allowances, the lower Sioux were not. Furthermore they were more agitated because they thought that they had been cheated in signing the Traverse des Sioux, when they signed the traders’ paper. The traders who were not a part of the Indian tribe seized a payment of $400,000, which was due to the Dakota. In 1858, another deal was made with the government via the traders for the prospect of getting better annuity but the Indians did not get the amount they imagined. The traders’ claims became a source of distrust and dissatisfaction. In order to ratify the condition, proposal was made to the government for the better allowance of seeds, goods, firm equipments and even school to empower the native Sioux. But the introduction of farming led to the development of breach among them, which led to the suspicion of dissolution of the tribe. In 1857, the Indian office at Washington held the Sioux tribe responsible for not being able to capture a disrepute murderer called Inkpaduta. But the most immediate cause of the uprising was the delay arrival of annuity in 1862 and the subsequent starving of the tribe.&nbsp.
