So far these articles have explained the early history of Sioux City from before 1800 to the 1850's and '60's. Aside from the mentions of Indians this has been completely focused on the white explorers and settlers. There was an article about a interesting and charismatic resident of Sioux City. The next set of articles are going to be about the Indians. There will be explanation of the tribes, then and now. Shown will be both the peaceful and non-aggressive Indians along with the groups of Indians who were aggressive. This is not meant to show the Indians in a bad light. If you want to look at it from a perspective of good and bad sides, there are good and bad sides with any ethnic group or demographic. That is not what this is about. This is showing a historical account of what happened and when.
As far as why this happened, in terms of what caused the Indians to commit the atrocities that will be shown in the articles, that is open for speculation, civil debate and discussion.
I have reached out to the current local tribes who were formed from the tribes of the past to ask about their history. I have yet to receive any response from these tribes. The information in these articles are from the white mans perspective based on the accounts of what happened and when. Even though my research was conducted in an objective and unbiased manner the content of the research material that will be shown in the articles may be thought by some to be one sided, biased, racist, hateful, bigoted and certainly nonobjective. As mentioned in the very first article in this series I did not create the materials I researched. I do not hold the same views, ideals or attitude portrayed in the materials. I copied the material to put in the articles to let the readers come to their own conclusions.
As mentioned in the very article in the series:
Some of the materials contain biased, racist, and bigoted comments, language, remarks, ideas, attitudes and ideals. This is how people thought, talked and acted in the 19th and early 20th century's. Reader discretion is advised. If you are easily offended by what is today considered politically incorrect statements and content it is recommended you read no further than this recap, summary and what's next article. The blog author does not share the same attitude, ideas, ideals or agree with the bias and racism shown, portrayed and displayed in the research materials.
