Battle of LIttle Bighorn

Answer 3

Nobody has mentioned the most dramatic Native American victory. In 1791, an Amerian army under Arthur St Clair battled a confederacy of Indian tribes in the Ohio Valley. The Americans were totally wiped out, suffering nearly 900 dead. This was the largest US defeat in the entire history of Indian warfare. It represented 1/3 of the entire US Army of that period.

Answer 4

The battle at the Little Big Horn was a great victory for the plains Indians, however the U.S. Government did not call it a battle- they called it a massacre. This was a battle in every sense, when the U.S. military wins they call it a battle, when the Indians win the Government called it a massacre. Two such encounters were with Gratton and his soldiers about a Mormon cow incident, the other was about Colonel Fetterman and his 82 men getting wiped out.

Answer 5

You can tell when the Indians won because it was always called a "massacre". When the whites killed old men,women, and children it was always a "great military victory".
The Apaches fought a sucessful guerrilla war for many years against the U.S. Army and the Mexicans. The Seminole tribe never actually surrendered to the U.S..
Capt. Jack of the Modocs held off an army more than twenty times the size of his whole tribe in the volcanic rocks above Tule Lake.

Answer 6

Oh. There were tons, guess who passes on history...the winners. But there was a tremendously important uprising. I don't know what the name of it was, but if you do some research there was a medicine man who was whipped by the jesuit priests. He was so angry, he rallied the different bands of native americans together to simultaneously attack several forts at the same time. New Mexico area. The Cavalry was not able to repel all of these spread out attacks. What this attack did was liberate around 15000 horses. Prior to this, the native americans did not have horses at all. Horses are not native to the United States.

Answer 8

Not too many in wars with weapons because the natives were not familiar or trained. They bought land from Tecumsea, but he neglected to tell them it was not his to sell. and they had to repurchase it since the brits/ English assumed. Natives are the Americans.

Answer 9

Hmm, I can't recall anything either...

But what about Geronimo, I don't know if he ever won any battles. But he did manage to evade the government for years.
