What were some of the attempts on the part of whites to raise the American conscience to what was going on in the Great Plains?
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some white reformers and activists sought to raise awareness about the plight of Native Americans and the ecological devastation on the Great Plains. Notable figures, such as Helen Hunt Jackson, wrote works like "A Century of Dishonor," highlighting injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. Additionally, the establishment of organizations like the Indian Rights Association aimed to advocate for Native American rights and promote reform in federal policies. These efforts aimed to confront the prevailing attitudes of indifference and foster greater empathy for the struggles occurring on the Great Plains.
