00:01:00A six-week war with the Dakota in 1862 devastated the Minnesota River Valley.
00:01:23303 Indians were sentenced to die.
00:01:2638 were hanged.
00:01:28The Dakota people were banished from Minnesota.
00:01:31Thousands, led by Little Crow, escaped into the Dakota Territory.
00:01:36But the thirst for vengeance in Minnesota could only be quenched by chasing down and punishing the Indian leader and his warriors.
00:01:45Sibling, the war is over.
00:01:49But the people of Minnesota are demanding revenge.
00:01:52Well, we got a good start on that, Governor.
00:01:5638 of the murderers were hung in Mankato.
00:01:58And in the spring, the ones that Little Crow left behind will be taken to the Dakota Territories.
00:02:04So that'll get rid of another 1600 for you, Governor.
00:02:07Well, you know, Lincoln did get it right at one point.
00:02:09The law says that any Lakota in Minnesota need to be moved beyond the boundary of any state.
00:02:17So I ask you, exterminate them all or move them out?
00:02:24I prefer the former.
00:02:26Well, Lincoln said himself he won't hang men by the hundreds.
00:02:30But he wasn't here.
00:02:33He didn't see the horrors that the Indians committed.
00:02:37Hundreds of civilians killed.
00:02:39Minnesota desolate.
00:02:40It's not over.
00:02:44What do you mean, Governor?
00:02:46Trials, executions, relocations.
00:02:50They're not enough.
00:02:52I've heard the worst of them have fled to the Dakota Territory with Little Crow.
00:02:58And I need you to lead an expedition into Dakota Territory and bring Little Crow back.
00:03:07Governor, I'm ready to retire.
00:03:10I'm not a soldier.
00:03:11I'm a businessman.
00:03:12I was a governor before you.
00:03:14I'm suited for business and politics, not soldiering.
00:03:19Now, I took your appointment and I fought the campaign.
00:03:22I did my duty.
00:03:23And I'm ready to go home.
00:03:25But we're not ready for you to go home.
00:03:27And General Pope agrees.
00:03:29The people of Minnesota respect you.
00:03:32They admire you.
00:03:34You are the person we need to lead this expedition.
00:03:38All right.
00:03:39If I must, I will.
00:03:42But I'm not enthusiastic about this.
00:03:45Don't worry.
00:03:46You'll have help.
00:03:48General Pope and I have developed a plan.
00:03:51Now, we hear the Dakota have left for Devil's Lake.
00:03:55We want you to go to Devil's Lake and find them.
00:04:00And if they're not there, they've probably moved on toward the Missouri.
00:04:04So we want you to follow them to the Missouri and the Lakota.
00:04:08How many men will I have in my command, Governor?
00:04:11You'll have 4,000 infantry.
00:04:14But you'll also have some help.
00:04:17General Sully will bring his 3,000 cavalrymen up the Missouri to rendezvous with you.
00:04:24General Sully?
00:04:25West Pointer fought at Bull Run.
00:04:29I understand he's a serious commander, Governor.
00:04:32But General's General.
00:04:34Now, I expect you'll be pushing them west.
00:04:38And then Sully will be coming in from the east to cut them off.
00:04:42Siding with McClellan and his dust-up with Lincoln wasn't very smart.
00:04:46Got him exiled out here, along with the General.
00:04:49Pope's mistake was losing at Bull Run.
00:04:52Lincoln cleaned house.
00:04:54All those people he felt let him down,
00:04:56he sent them off to the frontier hinterlands like Minnesota.
00:05:00So, you want me to march west, hunt down Little Crow?
00:05:05I hope Sully's up to it.
00:05:07It's a different type of warfare, Governor.
00:05:09Don't worry about Sully.
00:05:10He's a professional.
00:05:13By June, I want you headed to Dakota Territory.
00:05:17That's months from now, sir.
00:05:19Well, we've got to wait for better weather and have the grass to grow.
00:05:23Horses need farms.
00:05:39Hello, Sensei.
00:05:40I was just wondering, are you waiting for somebody?
00:05:44There are Dakota children in the school.
00:05:46I wanted to make sure they made it home from the class.
00:05:51You know, I heard that you were planning to go out to the Dakota Territory soon.
00:05:57I believe so, yes.
00:05:58The kids are going to miss you a lot.
00:06:03You know, you've been a big help to us.
00:06:05I hope so.
00:06:07However, I must join my husband.
00:06:09Yeah.
00:06:10By the way, do you know exactly where you're going to end up out there?
00:06:14Near the Missouri River.
00:06:17That's all I know.
00:06:18There's somebody out there I'd like you to talk to.
00:06:20Who is that?
00:06:21My sister.
00:06:22She has a pretty big ranch out there.
00:06:26Everybody knows her.
00:06:27Her last name is Collins.
00:06:29Why would she want to speak with me?
00:06:31Well, she has sort of made it her place to try to help the Dakota who've been pushed out of here.
00:06:37And she believes it's time to start up a school out there for the Dakota children.
00:06:43Why would she do this?
00:06:44Well, who knows?
00:06:46Maybe she just thinks it's the right thing to do.
00:06:49You could be very helpful to her, you know.
00:06:52You could continue the work you've started here.
00:06:56Thank you for telling me this, Miss Woodbury.
00:06:58Oh, sure, sure.
00:07:01I do wish you the best in all of your endeavors.
00:07:05Well, Givens, I hope help gets here quick.
00:07:09I don't like the sound of this.
00:07:11Little Crow did warn us.
00:07:12He said they'd be coming.
00:07:13It's too soon.
00:07:15Well, it better be a regiment, then.
00:07:16We're not getting a regiment.
00:07:18All three forts on the frontier don't have that many men all together.
00:07:22And I'm just getting my rangers together.
00:07:24The Dakotas are hungry.
00:07:25They need food.
00:07:26We don't even have an exact count of how many there'll be.
00:07:29There could be Chippewa or Gangtons from the Dakotas.
00:07:32Soldiers are coming.
00:07:33I'll have them do a count.
00:07:35Miss West, the colonel, has been expecting you.
00:07:51Thank you for your response to my request, Miss West.
00:07:54I trust you're settling into the Dakota Territory?
00:07:57Yes.
00:07:58The school is open now.
00:08:00What's the composition of your school?
00:08:02Composition?
00:08:06Your students, are they all Dakota?
00:08:10Well, they are a mix of Dakota and white students.
00:08:15Is that why you've invited me here, Colonel, to discuss the composition of our classrooms?
00:08:20You've been here for a while now, and I thought maybe you might answer a few questions for me.
00:08:27Regarding?
00:08:29Regarding the whereabouts of certain Dakota individuals.
00:08:32Three of these individuals are Dakota chiefs from the central area of Minnesota.
00:08:45Colonel, I am not well versed in tribal affairs.
00:08:49I work with children.
00:08:52Please tell me if you know the whereabouts of one red middle voice.
00:08:55I have heard of red middle voice, but I've never met him.
00:09:01How about Chief Little Crow?
00:09:03I have not seen Chief Little Crow since before the war.
00:09:08Fine.
00:09:10How about Traveling Hale?
00:09:11I have met Traveling Hale.
00:09:18The father of one of my students was a follower of his.
00:09:23What was the student's name?
00:09:26Johnny.
00:09:27Johnny?
00:09:29What was his Indian name?
00:09:34Traveling Star.
00:09:35Miss West, since you've been in Dakota, have you seen Traveling Hale or Traveling Star?
00:09:47No, I have not.
00:09:51There's one more individual I'd like to discuss with you.
00:09:55All right.
00:09:57Do you know the whereabouts of one Nathan Cates?
00:10:02You're looking for Nathan?
00:10:04We are.
00:10:06Obviously not for the same reasons we're looking for the others.
00:10:11I have not seen Nathan since we arrived here.
00:10:16Yes, we heard that you left Minnesota together.
00:10:20That is true, but he went to see family.
00:10:24He had a death in the family.
00:10:28This family in Virginia?
00:10:31No.
00:10:34His family in Indiana.
00:10:37Miss West, I need complete honesty in regards to this next question.
00:10:44That is why I'm here, Colonel.
00:10:45Are you aware that Nathan Cates is an agent of the Confederacy?
00:10:52What?
00:10:53Are you aware that Nathan Cates is an agent of the Confederate States of America?
00:11:04But that's impossible.
00:11:06He fought alongside your soldiers at Fort Ridgely.
00:11:09Yes, it's obvious to us that Mr. Cates is very good at concealing his true identity.
00:11:16I'm sorry, Colonel, but I simply do not believe you.
00:11:21You will believe what you choose to believe, Miss West.
00:11:25However, if you happen to learn the whereabouts of Mr. Cates,
00:11:29or traveling star,
00:11:32or traveling hail,
00:11:34or little crow,
00:11:36or red middle voice,
00:11:37then
00:11:38by all means,
00:11:41please let me know as soon as possible.
00:11:45Of course I will.
00:11:55Are you serious, Emily?
00:11:56He said that about Nathan?
00:11:59Yes.
00:12:00Things are really bad now.
00:12:02Well, where is Nathan now?
00:12:03He's supposed to come back in two days.
00:12:08Possibly tomorrow.
00:12:09And I'm afraid I have even more bad news.
00:12:12What did you learn?
00:12:14Emily,
00:12:15the generals and Governor Ramsey are incensed
00:12:19that only 38 Dakota were hanged.
00:12:23They wanted all of those
00:12:24that were tried to be hanged.
00:12:27That's over 300.
00:12:30What are they planning, Susan?
00:12:32It wasn't enough
00:12:34that they pushed
00:12:34thousands of Dakota
00:12:36out of Minnesota.
00:12:38They are assembling
00:12:39this army
00:12:40to invade the Dakota
00:12:41and destroy our people.
00:12:44Don't they have to answer to Washington?
00:12:46I believe they only answer to Ramsey.
00:12:52What do you think we should do, Susan?
00:12:54When Nathan comes back,
00:12:57you two need to disappear.
00:12:59Things are going to get dangerous
00:13:00very quickly.
00:13:01Good afternoon.
00:13:11What can I help you with?
00:13:15I'm on my way to see friends.
00:13:18I was told there was going to be more Dakota.
00:13:21There will be many more next week, I believe.
00:13:25You're aware you're leaving
00:13:26the United States territory
00:13:28once you leave here?
00:13:29I'm aware, yes.
00:13:32Well, now,
00:13:33Dakota is a very dangerous place
00:13:35for a woman to be.
00:13:37Minnesota
00:13:38has been a very hard place
00:13:40for Dakota to be.
00:13:43Uh-huh.
00:13:44It was your people
00:13:45that started this mess.
00:13:48Your government
00:13:49was starving my people.
00:13:51Why were they surprised
00:13:54when we did what was necessary
00:13:56to survive?
00:13:58Listen,
00:13:59you were required
00:14:00to tell me your name
00:14:01and where you were
00:14:02in Minnesota.
00:14:04Were all the Dakota
00:14:05required to do this
00:14:07when they came through here?
00:14:09Yes, they were.
00:14:11What do you do
00:14:12with this information?
00:14:14I keep them in a ledger
00:14:16inside here.
00:14:18May I see this ledger?
00:14:21I take it
00:14:22that you can read then.
00:14:24I can.
00:14:27Are you looking
00:14:28for someone?
00:14:30I'm looking
00:14:31for many someones.
00:14:33Ma'am,
00:14:34this ledger
00:14:35is the property
00:14:36of the United States Army.
00:14:38I'm not at liberty
00:14:39to show it to anyone
00:14:40without proper authorization.
00:14:43Where does it go
00:14:44from here?
00:14:46Directly from me
00:14:47to General Sibley.
00:14:49Certainly not you.
00:14:51That is a shame.
00:14:53I'm looking
00:14:54for the rest
00:14:54of my family.
00:14:57I suggest
00:14:58you go back
00:14:58to where you came
00:15:00and look for them.
00:15:06I will return.
00:15:10who the hell
00:15:30is responsible
00:15:30for this?
00:15:35Were you the guard
00:15:37on duty, soldier?
00:15:38Yes, sir.
00:15:39I was.
00:15:40then please report.
00:15:43Well, sir,
00:15:44I was gone
00:15:45for about 20 minutes.
00:15:46Gone?
00:15:46Where the hell
00:15:47did you go?
00:15:49I was doing
00:15:50my business, colonel.
00:15:57Were you at least
00:15:58able to save
00:15:59the ledgers?
00:16:01No, sir.
00:16:02They were right
00:16:03in the middle
00:16:03of the burn.
00:16:04Oh!
00:16:05I don't understand
00:16:07how you let
00:16:08this happen.
00:16:08Yes, sir.
00:16:33Who are you?
00:16:34what the hell
00:16:45was that?
00:16:57You need to talk
00:16:58to me?
00:16:58Yes, grandfather.
00:17:01We need to talk
00:17:01to you about
00:17:02someone we have
00:17:03seen.
00:17:04Dakota or
00:17:05Wichito?
00:17:06We don't know.
00:17:07Man or woman?
00:17:09Woman.
00:17:10What was she
00:17:11wearing?
00:17:12She dressed
00:17:13funny.
00:17:15Strange trappings,
00:17:16kind of brown,
00:17:17kind of green.
00:17:18Do you think
00:17:19she was shaman?
00:17:20Was she adorned
00:17:21with bones
00:17:22and fur?
00:17:26I've seen her
00:17:26behind our
00:17:27place here.
00:17:29Yes,
00:17:30standing very
00:17:30still.
00:17:32Maybe a witch.
00:17:34Did she speak
00:17:34to you?
00:17:36No.
00:17:38Did you try
00:17:39to speak to her?
00:17:40When we did,
00:17:41she ran away
00:17:42into the forest.
00:17:44Around here,
00:17:45you're going to
00:17:45find out that
00:17:46Dakota looked
00:17:46different than us.
00:17:48Maybe tell her
00:17:49you're her chief?
00:17:49Well,
00:17:51I'm not her chief.
00:17:52But she needs
00:17:53to know.
00:17:54We mean her
00:17:54no harm.
00:18:02Are you planning
00:18:03to stay here
00:18:04in the homeland?
00:18:05Yes.
00:18:06We were told
00:18:06we could use
00:18:07these buildings
00:18:07for shelter.
00:18:09Such as
00:18:10this village?
00:18:11This was the
00:18:11home of fur traders
00:18:12many years ago.
00:18:14Some of these
00:18:14buildings look like
00:18:15they would not
00:18:16keep the rain
00:18:16off your head.
00:18:18Some of them
00:18:18will not.
00:18:19Are there
00:18:21others?
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:23A short
00:18:24waltz.
00:18:25They're created
00:18:26from mud
00:18:26and grass.
00:18:28Earth homes.
00:18:30They hold
00:18:30a warrant
00:18:31from the fire
00:18:31better than
00:18:32these.
00:18:34My wife
00:18:35is coming
00:18:35from Minnesota.
00:18:37She may
00:18:38like that
00:18:38better.
00:18:49Can you see her?
00:18:58Can you see her?
00:19:00Yeah.
00:19:01She's close
00:19:01to the earth.
00:19:03Is she human
00:19:04or spirit?
00:19:07Her grandson
00:19:07has seen her.
00:19:08Maybe she'll
00:19:09talk with us.
00:19:10peace be to you.
00:19:20We're Dakota
00:19:21Chiefs from
00:19:21Minnesota.
00:19:27I am
00:19:27Chief
00:19:27Traveling
00:19:28Hale.
00:19:31I am
00:19:32Chief Red
00:19:33Middle Voice.
00:19:34Are you
00:19:35Dakota?
00:19:36I don't believe
00:19:43she can speak.
00:19:47Mitakweasen.
00:19:49She can speak.
00:19:51I am
00:19:52Shinoti.
00:19:52Oh.
00:19:56Three people.
00:19:59She is from
00:19:59the ancient
00:20:00forest.
00:20:02My father
00:20:03and mother
00:20:03were of the
00:20:04French.
00:20:05They were killed
00:20:06in a raid
00:20:06before I could
00:20:07walk.
00:20:09Chippewa
00:20:10took me in.
00:20:12Traded me
00:20:13to Dakota.
00:20:14They taught
00:20:15me the ways
00:20:15of the people.
00:20:17They named
00:20:18me
00:20:18Coyota.
00:20:19But you
00:20:21are from
00:20:22place of
00:20:22cloudy
00:20:23waters.
00:20:24Why are
00:20:25you here?
00:20:27The
00:20:27soldiers'
00:20:28forces
00:20:28out of
00:20:29our
00:20:29homes.
00:20:30I have
00:20:31seen
00:20:31these
00:20:32soldiers.
00:20:33Most of
00:20:34them are
00:20:34still in
00:20:34Minnesota.
00:20:36Many
00:20:36are here.
00:20:38You

00:25:47between us.
00:25:48We gave up

00:25:50Let Sibley

00:25:53I can do that.

00:26:17of
00:26:17Jibwe
00:26:18and
00:26:19the
00:26:19Meti.
00:26:20They
00:26:21want
00:26:21you
00:26:21gone.
00:26:22Excellent governor.
00:26:34Send them back
00:26:35to the border.
00:26:37Little Crow will have
00:26:38no choice
00:26:39but to return
00:26:40to Minnesota.
00:26:42The Federals
00:26:42will be
00:26:43preoccupied
00:26:44just like
00:26:45we planned.
00:26:46Letting them
00:26:47escape to
00:26:48British America
00:26:49would take
00:26:50the heat
00:26:50off
00:26:50Lincoln.
00:26:51General Pike,
00:26:53I don't like
00:26:54getting involved
00:26:55in all these
00:26:55dealings
00:26:56of spies
00:26:57and such.
00:26:58I'm not a
00:26:59spy governor.
00:27:00I am
00:27:00chief
00:27:01of covert
00:27:01operations
00:27:02for the
00:27:03Confederate
00:27:03States
00:27:04of America.
00:27:05Titles
00:27:06don't change
00:27:06the mission,
00:27:07sir.
00:27:08Stir up
00:27:09the Indians.
00:27:10Stop wars
00:27:11along your
00:27:11frontier.
00:27:12Isn't that
00:27:13your charge?
00:27:15Innovative,
00:27:16isn't it?
00:27:17We got off
00:27:17to a good
00:27:18start
00:27:18Minnesota.
00:27:20But our
00:27:20agent
00:27:21fell in love
00:27:22and got
00:27:22cold feet.
00:27:24At least
00:27:24we kept
00:27:24Minnesota boys
00:27:25fighting in
00:27:26Minnesota
00:27:27and brought
00:27:28more back
00:27:28from the
00:27:29East.

00:36:29They
00:36:29must
00:36:29go to
00:36:29Wonka
00:36:30and
00:36:30Tonka.
00:36:30to
00:36:47know
00:36:48to
00:37:49I'm warning you, this is fully loaded and you can be dead in 10 seconds.
00:38:00I carry no weapons.
00:38:03I aim to cause you no harm.
00:38:19May I sit down?
00:38:20It's been a long day, Injun.
00:38:45What do you want?
00:38:46All I want is a conversation.
00:38:49In case you hadn't heard, we're all done with talking to the Dakota.
00:38:55It is my belief that conversation between two warring tribes is always valuable.
00:39:00Look, General Sibley's office is in the next building.
00:39:06Why aren't you over bugging him?
00:39:08We are very aware that Sibley is not a true general.
00:39:13Why would you say that?
00:39:16He was brought in by Governor Ramsey.
00:39:19You are the true warrior.
00:39:20Why would that make a difference to someone like you?
00:39:26Your experience in battle has given you a different understanding other than what General Sibley is capable of.
00:39:34All right, that is perceptive.
00:39:39I'll ask you again.
00:39:41What do you want?
00:39:44Are you aware that your men attacked several defenseless Dakota villages this past week?
00:39:50Of course I am aware.
00:39:54I ordered it.
00:39:56Only women and children were in these villages.
00:40:00They were all slaughtered by your men.
00:40:04Tell me, where were the Dakota men that reside in these villages?
00:40:10They were looking for horses.
00:40:13And when they find those horses, they will attack us.
00:40:17General, we need those horses to harvest our crops.
00:40:23Otherwise, the Dakota will starve again.
00:40:29Several residents of the village you speak of were seen creating weapons, tomahawks, spears, etc.
00:40:38We have to be able to defend ourselves against wild animals and other...
00:40:42May I please remind you that the wholesale slaughter of women and children was not started by my soldiers.
00:40:50This war was started by the Dakota!
00:40:55However it started, it must end.
00:40:59Otherwise, you and your men will completely run out of people to kill.
00:41:07In that case, we would have reached Governor Ramsey's objective.
00:41:13Governor Ramsey's stated objective, which is now my standing order and is standing order for my army,
00:41:26is the complete extermination of all Dakota who came from the central Minnesota area.
00:41:33There is now very bad blood between our two peoples.
00:41:40If that objective, as you call it, does not change,
00:41:46there will be very bad blood for hundreds of years.
00:41:56So be it.
00:41:58Grandfather, we would like to speak to you.
00:42:05Well, I'm listening.
00:42:07Do you like this place?
00:42:10This place? You mean this house?
00:42:13No, we mean the whole area.
00:42:16Of course. It's our homeland.
00:42:18But it's not our home.
00:42:21In time, it will feel like it.
00:42:23Well, why do we have to go to the Wachito school?
00:42:30You will learn things there that will help you.
00:42:33The other students don't like us.
00:42:38Well, why do you say that?
00:42:40They give us strange looks.
00:42:42They don't really talk to us.
00:42:44They will.
00:42:46I don't know.
00:42:48They blame us for the war.
00:42:51Did they speak in those words?
00:42:53They told us.
00:42:54We started it.
00:42:56What did they mean exactly?
00:42:59They know why the soldiers brought us here.
00:43:02We were forced to come here by those soldiers.
00:43:06Did we start the war?
00:43:08No.
00:43:08That war was started by the generals and Ramsey.
00:43:11Godなんだ.
00:43:12I was away.
00:43:12It was also.
00:43:14Amen.
00:43:15Amen.
00:43:16Amen.
00:43:19Amen.
00:43:20Amen.
00:43:21Amen.
00:43:21Amen.
00:43:23Amen.
00:43:26Amen.
00:43:36Amen.
00:43:38Amen.
00:43:39General Sibley, a word with you, sir.
00:43:44Of course, Colonel. What's on your mind?
00:43:46Sir, I have noticed a Lakota woman malingering around the camp.
00:43:50Is she bothering the troops?
00:43:53Not as I can say, sir.
00:43:55Well, then what's your concern?
00:43:57She doesn't appear to be like the other Lakota we've seen.
00:43:59It's her style of dress. It's very unusual.
00:44:03I was wondering, with your prior experience as a fur trader,
00:44:06you might have encountered her or someone like her or her people,
00:44:10and you could say, identify what tribe she belonged to.
00:44:14I'll take a look, Colonel.
00:44:22Have you ever seen anything like this before, sir?
00:44:28Yeah. That's what the Dakota call the tree people.
00:44:31They're very primitive. They live in the forest.
00:44:33Uh, it's rare to see one out in the open like this.
00:44:37She seems to be hanging around the chow tent.
00:44:41I wonder why.
00:44:43Well, she's probably stealing food, I would imagine.
00:44:45I agree. Should I make her go away, sir?
00:44:48If it pleases you, Colonel. Now excuse me.
00:44:52General.
00:44:53General.
00:44:53Lieutenant, why do we have men on the ground on the field
00:45:09when the fighting hasn't started yet?
00:45:11Hold it. Who are you and what presence have you near?
00:45:21I'll tell you what, we're lucky to still have our horses.
00:45:41When did Red Middle Voice say we might get more?
00:45:44He's trying.
00:45:45The soldiers picked up so many of them.
00:45:48The chiefs are the ones that got us into this mess.
00:45:50No, the government did that.
00:45:53Then the government pushed us here.
00:45:55We didn't have to come here.
00:45:57My father was Dakota.
00:45:59The codas are my people.
00:46:04You see something?
00:46:06I think we're being watched.
00:46:13Do you know this woman?
00:46:16It's Kyoto.
00:46:17Of the tree people.
00:46:19Tree people?
00:46:20I ain't never seen one before.
00:46:22Come on over and sit with us, Kyoto.
00:46:38Good to see you, Kyoto.
00:46:39You bring news?
00:46:41Not good.
00:46:42That's the only kind of news we get these days.
00:46:46Village of Red Middle Voice is destroyed.
00:46:53How do you know this?
00:46:55I have seen.
00:46:58Soldiers?
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:01Did they kill anybody?
00:47:04All but one.
00:47:05Where do the soldiers go?
00:47:11North.
00:47:18After failing to find allies, Little Crow and a small band returned to Minnesota in search
00:47:25of horses.
00:47:26Dividing into two groups, they raided the countryside.
00:47:29They took some lives, but found no horses.
00:47:33They returned to a rendezvous point north of Hutchinson in Meeker County.
00:47:39There, the band departed, leaving Little Crow and his son, Wonape, alone.
00:47:45Where are you at, Herman?
00:47:56Mother's been slaving over that hot stove all day.
00:47:59You better get in here.
00:48:00Get the hell off my land.
00:48:15Herman!
00:48:17I said supper's on the table.
00:48:19You better come on in.
00:48:21Get away from Mary.
00:48:23What do you think you're doing around here?
00:48:25Who are you yelling at, Herman?
00:48:31Get off my land before I blast you.
00:48:40Just looks like a couple Indians picking berries, Herman.
00:48:44Why don't you just leave them alone?
00:48:46They'll probably be leaving soon.
00:48:48I'm going to give you to the count of three or I'm going to give you some lead.
00:48:54You will not, Herman Lundberg.
00:48:56If you end up killing somebody, you're going to take that body downtown yourself.
00:49:00You understand me?
00:49:02One.
00:49:04Quit being ridiculous.
00:49:08You know what that looks like to me?
00:49:11I only saw him one time at a church in Redwood, but that looks like Little Crow.
00:49:17Two.
00:49:19Wait a minute.
00:49:21Didn't I hear there was a bounty out on him?
00:49:24Three.
00:49:31Stop shooting now, Herman.
00:49:33You're going to make him shoot back at us, and I'm the one who's going to be hit.
00:49:36I told you I was serious.
00:49:42Herman, you stopped that reloading, and I mean it.
00:49:45Now I've got to explain to our mother what that gunfire's all about.
00:49:47I gave you a chance.
00:49:52She's already going to be mad because supper's getting cold.
00:49:55I don't believe you.
00:49:58Look what you've gone and done.
00:50:00I just got myself three hundred dollars.
00:50:04Sibley's army continued after fleeing Dakota.
00:50:15They fought skirmishes with them at Dead Buffalo Lake on July 26th and Stony Lake on July 28th,
00:50:23where Dakota were joined by Teton Braves under a young chief, Sitting Bull.
00:50:29They killed Wiser, sir.
00:50:58I say we pitch in to him.
00:51:01Maybe standing Buffalo's still willing to surrender.
00:51:05Not now.
00:51:06He's headed back up that big mound.
00:51:10All right.
00:51:11I want the six under crooks, the seventh with Marshall, to join with McPhail's captain,
00:51:16form a long picket, and sweep up Big Mound, supported by Jones artillery.
00:51:21I want the six under crook here.
00:51:34I love that band growth.
00:51:38I'm going to let you do one last minute.
00:51:43I want the six under pseudffffff.
00:58:45I say they'll give up, sir.
00:58:51Standing buffalo will ride out and meet you.
00:58:53If they're willing to lay down their arms, I'll ride out and meet them.
00:58:57Might not be wise, sir.
00:59:00Why do you say that?
00:59:01Well, one of them whispered a warning to me.
00:59:05I don't think they all want peace.
00:59:08All right, then I'll stay here.
00:59:10You ride out and meet them.
00:59:11If it looks like he's really going to surrender, send a runner for me.
00:59:15I don't think they all want peace.
00:59:45I've gotten to honor her valour and chosen flight for safety.
00:59:49We have pushed the Dakota to the west side of the Missouri River.
00:59:53So, I hereby declare this campaign a success.
01:00:06Also, we have received yet unconfirmed reports that little crow has been killed near Hutchison,
01:00:15and I pray to God that is true.
01:00:23Forward! March!
01:00:32Lieutenant, I've got a mission for you.
01:00:35General Sully was supposed to rendezvous with us here, but he's somewhere downriver.
01:00:38I'd like you to send a scout, a runner, and find him, update him on the situation, and let him know where I'm at.
01:00:53I knew it was going to be a good day. It's so good to see you, wife.
01:01:12I hope you're here to stay.
01:01:19I am. This is an interesting house.
01:01:24Yes, many people here live in a house like this. They say the warmth of the fire never leaves.
01:01:31You will have to show me. My husband. On the way here, I stopped and talked to someone.
01:01:37Who?
01:01:38White lady. She operates a ranch in Dakota.
01:01:41Dakota. Do you know this person?
01:01:44I was told to visit her. She's doing good things for the Dakota people.
01:01:48What is her name?
01:01:49Albie Collins.
01:01:51I don't know of an Albie Collins.
01:01:53She wants me to work with her on a school for Dakota children.
01:01:57A school? Pot by whites?
01:01:59Some whites, some Dakota. She wants to speak with you.
01:02:05I'm sure we can manage to arrange that.
01:02:07You wanted to see us, Grandfather?
01:02:13Yes.
01:02:14I have bad news from Minnesota.
01:02:20Little Crow is dead.
01:02:25Soldiers?
01:02:28We do not believe so.
01:02:29I like the little Crow.
01:02:34Why did he go back to Minnesota?
01:02:37Trying to gather war horses.
01:02:40Why do we need more war horses when we're not at war?
01:02:45That was very dangerous.
01:02:48Ramses built a militia of 2,000 men.
01:02:50To attack Dakota here while we're still weak from fighting.
01:03:01There's more.
01:03:02The generals will join in with another thousand soldiers.
01:03:08What are we going to do, Grandfather?
01:03:10Our fight with the soldiers was a good one.
01:03:32All Dakotas fought well.
01:03:33However, the army got reinforcements.
01:03:40How many?
01:03:43Many, many soldiers.
01:03:46Are they still headed north?
01:03:48Yes.
01:03:50Is Little Crow and his warriors still with his people?
01:03:53I do not think so.
01:03:59Many, many Dakota.
01:04:01This would be mostly women and children.
01:04:06Yes.
01:04:07They don't have anyone to protect them.
01:04:10You can bet the army ain't gonna stop.
01:04:13Do you know where they're going?
01:04:16White Stone.
01:04:19Lordy, that's a long ride.
01:04:21All night and all day and another night.
01:04:26We must go, Dan.
01:04:28No doubt about it.
01:04:30I'm going.
01:04:31It's just a matter of if y'all want to go with me.
01:04:33It's just a matter of if y'all want to go with me.
01:13:24It's a special...
01:13:25300 dead Dakota on the ground out there.
01:13:30That many?
01:13:31Yes, sir.
01:13:36Of those dead Dakota, how many of them would you say are warriors?
01:13:42Not too many.
01:13:47So it's mostly women and children, sir.
01:13:53Lieutenant, do me a favor.
01:13:55And keep that number between you and I right now, okay?
01:14:00Yes, sir.
01:14:05I have an idea.
01:14:07I have an idea.
01:14:10You keep the buffalo meat, all 400,000 pounds of it, right where it's at.
01:14:17Yes, sir.
01:14:17You take the bodies of the Dakota and you throw them on top of this buffalo meat.
01:14:23Then you burn it all.
01:14:26Burn everything.
01:14:32You sure, sir?
01:14:35Kenneth, those are my orders.
01:14:36Yes.
01:14:37Yes, sir?
01:14:40Oh, one more thing.
01:14:43This has nothing to do with what you've just been talking to me about, but I believe you're going to end up going out east on us.
01:14:51Back to the war, sir?
01:14:54I don't think so.
01:14:56So, uh, they've been asking about you from, uh, Washington City.
01:15:01They want me and Washington?
01:15:07That's what I understand.
01:15:11Any idea why?
01:15:13I don't have the specifics on that, Lieutenant.
01:15:17Yes, sir.
01:15:18So, you get out there and get yourself a fire going over there so we can get out of this place.
01:15:22Yes, sir.
01:15:43We're too late.
01:15:45Looks like they're burning all the buffalo.
01:15:48That ain't all they're burning.
01:15:49So many.
01:16:04Dakota dead.
01:16:05So those, they call us ancestors.
01:16:08How they will know of this?
01:16:11I don't think they will.
01:16:13How they will know of this?
01:16:46They will.
01:16:50What do you see?
01:16:53They are here.
01:16:55So many Dakota.
01:17:05There is no one.
01:17:09No.
01:17:10You must see.
01:17:13There are so many.
01:17:16They are everywhere.
01:17:32They are here.
01:17:34White Stone Hill marked the end of the 1863 campaign against the Dakota Indians.
01:17:46Sully finished his pursuit of them the next summer.
01:17:49He encountered a large band of Sioux, many of them Teton, led by Sitting Bull.
01:17:54At Kildare Mountain in northwestern Dakota Territory, the confident Sioux warriors attacked Sully.
01:18:01You may have listened to the
01:18:15though.
