Actually, they did live at some forts . At Ft. Laramie they were housed in concentration camp type conditions. The Dakota Sioux were accused of attacking a homesteader family and killing them, so the army rounded up 300 Sioux and took them to the fort. There, they were kept and set to be hung, but Lincoln stepped in and stopped the hanging of 300 braves. They did hang 30 of the Sioux men on December 24, 1861. This is the largest mass hanging in US history. There are pictures online of the hanging and recently a book has been published on the event. Native American scouts also lived at Ft. Lincoln and other forts . It was from Lincoln that Custer was CO and where he left from on the morning of Little Big Horn. Today, the fort is a state site and can be toured. The Custer house still a large number of his personal items. Finally, Sitting Bull was housed at Fort Yates in 1890 along with his family and it is where he was killed.
