In your table group, make a PowerPoint outlining the conflict between settlers and Native Americans in the late 1800s. Your PowerPoint must include at least 10 slides and 5 pictures/graphics. The focus of your assignment should be on three particular groups/events:
1) The Lakota Sioux (Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, the Battle of Little Bighorn)
2) The Nez Perce (Chief Joseph, their people fleeing)
3) Native Americans settling on reservations
