"The Dakota War of 1862", was also known as: "The Sioux Uprising", "The Dakota Uprising", "The Sioux Outbreak of 1862", "The Dakota Conflict", "The U.S.-Dakota War of 1862".. and "Little Crow's War". This was an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Eastern Dakota, also known as, the Santee Sioux. The war began on August 18th 1862, at the Lower Sioux Agency, along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota. The Eastern Dakota People, in exchange for money and other provisions, (which rarely, if ever, arrived) ceded large tracts of land to the United States, in a series of treaties signed in 1837, 1851 and 1858. All four bands of Eastern Dakota, particularly the Mdewakanton, were displaced and "reluctantly' moved to a reservation, that was twenty miles wide, ten, on each side of the Minnesota River. There they were encouraged by U.S. Indian agents to become farmers, rather, than continue their hunting traditions. A crop failure, in 1861, followed by a harsh winter, along with poor hunting, which was due to depletion of the wild game by settlers. led to starvation and severe hardship for many of the Eastern Dakota people. In the summer of 1862, tensions between the Eastern Dakota and the traders and Indian agents reached a breaking point, due, to the Indian agents being "late" with the U.S. government annuity payments, whIch were owed, to the Eastern Dakota. The traders refused to extend credit to the tribesmen, for food, in part because, the traders also suspected, that the payments "might not arrive, at all', due, to the American Civil War. A bounty of $75 for each Dakota scalp "was offered to those, not in military service" and the amount was "increased to $200 per scalp", by Henry Swift, Minnesota's new governor, on September 22nd 1863.
