The Smithsonian YouTube channel features a 2020 video, produced by the Smithsonian Channel, that provides a brief history of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, which established peace between the United States and the Sioux and placed the Sioux on a reservation in the Dakota Territory. It briefly discusses General George Armstrong Custer, the leader of the United States calvary who died at the Battle of Little Bighorn, and the disruption of peace caused by his expedition into the Black Hills.
