1876 CE

The Black Hills are sacred to the Lakota nation.

The rapid influx of prospectors to the region, a part of the Powder River territory not ceded by the Native Americans to the United States, and the attendant friction causes war to begin in earnest in 1876, the year that a combined force of Northern Cheyenne, Lakota, and Arapaho under Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse annihilate Colonel George Custer and most of the US Seventh Cavalry.
