Indian massacres and false promises are intertwined themes in U.S. history, where broken treaties, coerced land cessions, and violent attacks on Native peoples, like the Sand Creek Massacre (Cheyenne/Arapaho) and the U.S.-Dakota War aftermath, were often preceded by or followed by false assurances of safety, resources, or peace, leading to devastating loss of life, land, and culture, highlighting systemic betrayal.
Key Examples of Betrayal & Violence:
- Sand Creek Massacre (1864): Peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho people, promised U.S. Army protection, were attacked by Colorado militia, resulting in the slaughter of over 230 people, mostly women, children, and elders, fueled by false claims of Indigenous violence.
- U.S.-Dakota War (1862): Starving Dakota Sioux, due to delayed treaty payments, initiated conflict; the U.S. response led to mass trials and the execution of 38 Dakota men after promises of fair treatment were broken.
- Gnadenhutten Massacre (1782): Moravian Lenape Christians, who had surrendered weapons after promises of safety, were brutally killed by American militia.
- Broken Treaties: The U.S. government frequently ignored treaty provisions, redirecting promised annuities, seizing resources, and reducing reservation lands, as seen with the Ojibwe (relocation to White Earth) and after Sand Creek (Medicine Lodge Treaty)
