Red Cloud was a leader of the Oglala Sioux (Lakota.)
Red Cloud, a prominent Lakota leader, strongly opposed the construction of the railroad through Native American territories in the 1860s. He believed that the railroad would encroach on Lakota lands and disrupt their way of life, leading to increased tensions with the U.S. government. As a result, he led Red Cloud's War (1866-1868) against U.S. forces to protect Lakota land and interests, ultimately resulting in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, which recognized Lakota sovereignty over the Black Hills and halted further railroad expansion into their territory.
Red Cloud led the Lakota Sioux in the Red Cloud's War (1866-1868) primarily to resist U.S. expansion into the Powder River Country, which was vital to the Lakota's hunting grounds and way of life. The construction of the Bozeman Trail and military forts in the region threatened their sovereignty and access to resources. His efforts aimed to protect Lakota lands and assert their rights against increasing encroachment by settlers and the U.S. government. The war ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), which recognized Lakota control over the Black Hills.
