History considers the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890, to be the end of the free Indian. This was where a band of about 350 Indians were gunned down by soldiers. Most of the men, women and children were slaughtered and their bodies left in the snow until they could be recovered several days later.
At the end of the war the Indians gave in and were all put intoreservations. They were fed up because all their family and friends were being shot and just wanted it to end. The whiteAmericanswanted to show their way of life as christian farmers and they believed it was the best and only way to live. They gave the Indians land within the reservations because they believed they needed it to farm. The land in which the Indians lived on was then put up for sale for homesteaders to buy.
The federal government had passed an act that designated the entire Great Plains as one enormous reservation, or land set aside for Native American tribes.

Like most Native American tribes, the plains tribes were nearly destroyed by disease. The Native Americans had no resistance to upper respiratory infections like influenza. As soon as first contact was made with the Europeans, depopulation of the Native Americans started. Some research suggests that the Native Americans were depopulated by as much as 90% by the late 1800s.
