Sioux braves gained great honor in taking part in warfare. Counting coup (the touching of an enemy) was a honorable achievement. It wasn't the killing of an enemy, but getting so close to him that he could touch him which was proof of his bravery. Also warfare was for gaining horses and food for wealth and staying alive. Also, one had to protect his family and village against raiding enemy tribes. So, that is why Sioux warriors took part in warfare.

In addition, conflict between the Sioux and other tribes was often motivated by pride or glory-seeking, with especially younger members of the involved tribes seeking to demonstrate their prowess in battle for the sake of recognition by their peers.
In a treaty from 1869, it was stated that the area was sacred ground, belonging to the Indians. But as gold was found, the whites didn't honor this. Although offer of sale was made by the local Indians, the government found the price too steep. Moreover, notorious Indian chief, Sitting Bull, bore a grudge against the whites, and would not accept a sale at any price.
