1866 CE

The Sioux resent the emigrant route Bozeman Trail through the Powder River bison habitat, although it mainly crosses land guaranteed to the Crows.

When the Army builds forts to protect the trail, the Crows cooperate with the garrisons.

On December 21, 1866, the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho defeat Captain William J. Fetterman and his men from Fort Phil Kearny.

Evidently, the United States cannot enforce respect for the treaty borders agreed upon fifteen years before.
