Kill the Indian, Save the Man - S1.E6 - How the West Was Lost

This episode tells the story of the final battles for Indian land - the battle at Wounded Knee. Within a year of the Indian's triumph over General Custer at Little Big Horn, most of Custer's defeaters had surrendered to reservations. The white government continued to impose restrictions on the remaining Native Americans, giving them less hospitable land. Out of their need for spiritual uplifting, the Indians developed the Ghost Dance to ward off whites. The government banned the dance and murdered Sitting Bull. When the smoke cleared, Big Foot and 350 followers were also dead. The rest were taken to reservations where they remained, spirits broken.
