He rejected treaties from the U.S. government and instead united the warriors of the Lakota and nearby tribes, becoming the only Native American to win a war against the U.S. Army. Despite his military successes, Red Cloud recognised that continued conflict would only bring destruction to his people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe made the controversial decision to make an agreement with the U.S. government and moved his people to a reservation. The effects of this decision—as well as the conflicts that arose from those who rejected the agreement and continued fighting against white expansion, such as Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull—shaped much of the history of Native American relations with the U.S. in the years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing archival images and S.
