In the Treaty (Agreement) of 1868, the Sioux agreed to relinquish to the United States all their territory south of the Niobrara River, west of longitude 104 degrees and north of latitude 46 degrees, and promised they would retire to a large reservation in southwest South Dakota before January 1, 1876.
The late eighteen hundreds became a period of bitter readjustment and decline, and the final uprising of the Sioux during the Ghost Dance excitement of 1890-1891 was subdued by Colonel Forsyth and the Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on December 29, 1890.
Socially, the Sioux originally consisted of a large number of local groups or bands, and although there was a certain tendency to encourage marriage outside the bands, these divisions were not true gentes, remembered blood relationship being the only bar to marriage.
