With the arrival of settlers in their territory the Sioux faced many challenges. European settlers brought many new and useful items, such as the horse, firearms and cloth. Unfortunately, they also brought new diseases for which the Sioux had no immunity. Cultural differences caused distrust, leading to numerous clashes and battles.

Treaties were made, then changed, then ignored. The Sioux and other nations were given reservation land to live on, but frequently they were relocated when valuable commodities such as gold were found on their lands.

The Sioux are now settled in the north central United States and central Canada.
