The Omaha continue to suffer from Sioux…
1846 CE
European-American settlers press the U.S. government to make more land available west of the Mississippi River for white development.
In 1846 Big Elk makes an illegal treaty allowing a large group of Mormons to settle on Omaha land for a period; he hopes to gain some protection from competing natives by their guns, but the new settlers will cut deeply into the game and wood resources of the area during the two years they are here.
