The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco Vazquez de Coronado when his expedition to the Great Plains launched the inevitable 350-year struggle between the white man and the American Indians. From that point forward, the series of battles between the military and civilian forces of the United States and the native American Indians began when blood was shed and ultimately tens of thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The Battle of Tippicanoe, the Battle of Horseshoe Band, all three Seminole Wars and the Battle of Little Big Horn were some of the most important conflicts that led up to the last massacre, the Battle of Wounded Knee, where America's landscape would be forever changed!brbrstrongChapters:br/strongbr1. strongThe Indians/strongbrEarly IndiansbrBuffalo HorsebrRise of the Horse CulturebrKiowabrComanchebrArapahoebrCheyennebrSiouxbrHomebrClothingbrSocial StructurebrReligionbrbr2.strong The Cavalry/strongbrDragoonsbrProtecting the TrailsbrFort LaramiebrThe Laramie TreatybrSanta Fe TrailbrKit Carson the NavajobrSearch DestroybrBuffalo SoldiersbrVictorybrbr3. strongThe Indian Warrior/strongbrEarly Indian ConflictsbrLater Indian ConflictsbrBecoming an Indian WarriorbrIndian WeaponsbrMinnesota MassacrebrSand Creek Massacrebrbr4.strongBattle for the Northern Plains/strongbrThe Northern PlainsbrThe Chiefsbr1865 Winter OffensivebrRed Cloud's WarbrChief Roman Nose and the Cheyenne TwilightbrLittle Big HornbrWounded Kneebrbr5.strongBattle for the Southern Plains/strongbrThe Southern Plains The ComanchebrCouncil House Fight and the Texas RangersbrChief Buffalo Hump's WarbrFirst Battle of Adobe Walls the Kiowa ChiefsbrThe Red River WarbrThe Desert SouthwestbrCochise the Apache GuerillasbrGeronimo/p
