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 River Railroad was created in 1835.
Red River Railroad ended in 1881.
Red Cloud opposed railroad construction across the Great Plains primarily because it threatened the sovereignty and way of life of the Lakota people. The expansion of railroads facilitated the influx of settlers and the further encroachment on Native American lands, disrupting their hunting grounds and traditional lifestyles. Additionally, he viewed the railroad as a tool for the U.S. government to assert control over Native territories, which fueled his resistance to the ongoing violations of treaties.
Red Cloud and his tribe got food from Red Cloud (Nuage Rouge), in Montreal.
