Visiting Nez Percés and a Crow reservation…

1873 CE

Visiting Nez Percés and a Crow reservation camp at Pryor Creek further west face a force of Sioux warriors in a long confrontation in August 1873.

Crow chief Blackfoot objects to this incursion and calls for resolute U.S. military actions against the trespassers.

Due to Sioux attacks on both civilians and soldiers north of the Yellowstone in newly established U.S. territory (Battle of Pease Bottom, Battle of Honsinger Bluff), the Commissioner of Indian Affairs advocates the use of troops to force the Sioux back to South Dakota in his 1873 report.

No action is taken.
