Quote by Ron Chernow
““Grant promised to send the Oglala Sioux large herds of sheep and cattle for raising stock and to build schools that would teach them English. For the Indians, however, this didn’t mean salvation so much as the wanton destruction of their traditional culture.””
![“[The U.S. government] was tired of treaties. They were tired of sacred hills. They were tired of ghost dances. And they were tired of all the inconveniences of the Sioux. So they brought out their cannons. 'You want to be an Indian now?' they said, finger on the trigger.” quote by Aaron Huey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0e8/aaron-huey-31542_cannons_the-u-s-government-was-tired-of-treaties_879620.jpg)
