The Indians offences

After a deep reaction of the guests of this site, who condemned the partiality of this page, I vienes to modify it. I remind that I did not create this page with the aim of raising the image of general Custer or some other white protagonist, but I noticed that to speak about horrors committed with Indian (I remind that all the site speaks about massacres caused by the Whites, cf Washita and Sand Creek) is taboo. It is not because there is awareness of the current world for the human rights that one can remove any responsibility in one or the other camp of Indian wars. Mutilated them tions are a sad reality, as well as massacres committed by the Whites. In the same way as these massacres guaranteed by Whites, those caused by the Indians are a part also of the History.

Next month will the page on the massacres caused by the White.

For lack of not forgetting what the Whites one forget too often that the Indians, although having a culture which advocates tolerance and pacifism, committed massacres on civilians and innocents.

Ralph Morisson: it(he) had the misfortune to hunt in territory cheyenne Indian

Indian faiths rest on a simple principle but which is the cause of the atrocious mutilations that underwent the Whites: they believe in the life in him beyond. And their enemies, they think of finding them in him beyond and prefer to deprive of them or to cut all the trump cards which could allow them to fight again in him beyond: arms, legs, head to avoid that he sees the Indian in him beyond as well as genitals (only to Cheyennes of the South) so that he avoids reproducing and so to assure his revenge on the Indian.

1813: Under the orders of the magnificent Indian chief Tecumseh le Shawnee, last Indian uprisings in the East. 2 families of Dutch immigrants are massacred and are mutilated in Massachussets by troops Shawnee in crushing defeat. Affair is suffocated by the State and the army does not intervene;  historians even put today a flat in the truthfulness of this story.

On 1854: After the murder of the lieutenant Grattan and his people, further to an event caused by the almighty lieutenant, various Indian tribes rebel all year round and massacre 112 colonists of isolated farms. The army reacts only late and strengthens weakly the actual of its army on the West.

On 1862: Sioux de Santee, starved, got into debt with the peddlers, having lost 9/10 of their lands to the Whites and harassed by the missionaries, rebel in Minessota. It is the dreadful massacre which follows, the city of New Ulm is totally exterminated. The inhabitants are murdered without discrimination, one fills up them then with herb. It is the worst action ever executed by the Indians.

Massacre of Minessota

on 1864's: Red Cloud leads his people to different skirmishes which get(touch) the strong of the track Bozeman but also the lots of the workers and the traders surroundings. Many deaths, but for the greater part soldiers.

On 1867: 750 American civilians and soldiers are massacred by the Indians during the Hancock's summer campaign. One counts so 27 people women and children murdered on the railroad line of The Pacific union, discovered moreover by Custer, what become  fire in the Cheyene village sponsored by Hancock of the village cheyenne abandoned.

On 1876: massacre of the 7-th of cavalry of Custer in territory of Montana

Little Bighorn :one 1 year later

Since 1876, Indian skirmishes are reduced, because most of the tribes, if they were not interested by the propositions of Gall and Red Cloud (who were under the influence of the Whites) avoid the army of general Miles.
