The legacy of the Red River War (1874-1875) lies in its impact on Native American tribes, particularly the Southern Plains tribes, and the U.S. government's policies toward Indigenous peoples. The conflict resulted in the forced relocation of tribes such as the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho, contributing to the decline of their traditional ways of life. It marked a significant moment in the broader context of westward expansion and the often violent imposition of U.S. authority over Indigenous lands. The war also highlighted the tensions between Indigenous rights and settler expansion, themes that continue to resonate in discussions about Native American sovereignty today.

The Red River War started when the Indians such as the Kiowas, Comanches, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes fought against forces under Colonel Miles and Colonel MacKenzie. The Indians were moved to reservations and made to leave the Red River area.
