[edit] 1

Some say that General Custer came to the Black Hills in 1874 with a larger personal purpose. Namely, he was trying to position himself for a Presidential run. Does anyone have information on this subject?

[edit] "A United States Civil War

It is technically incorrect to this day to refere to a conflict between a Native American tribe or tribes and the US govt. as a "Civil war". Civil war implies that one country is a war with itself. The federally recognised native tribes are to this day for all intents and purposes separate countries. Just as separate as Canada or Mexico is from the US. Some even straddles the borders with Mexico and Canada. This was even more true back then. Afterall nations do not relate to thier own internal parts via treaties. Treaties are made between countries. Based on these facts I am removing the phrase civl war. --Hfarmer 07:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC) The federally recognised native tribes are to this day for all intents and purposes separate countries. I agree with the delete, but they are not "countries" (i.e. nation states) any longer. They are autonomous tribal entities for purposes of governing their reservations but have been full citizens of the United States (the original "native Americans") since 1924. BTW I am Teton Lakota.--Buckboard 15:27, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
