Yes, General George Armstrong Custer discovered gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1874 during an expedition. This discovery led to a gold rush, attracting thousands of prospectors and settlers to the area, which was sacred to the Lakota Sioux. However, the rush also intensified tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, ultimately contributing to conflicts such as the Great Sioux War. Custer's involvement in the gold discovery significantly impacted both his career and Native American relations.
