In the 1830s, the Rocky Mountain Fur Company caused the Lakota to move south from the Upper Missouri to Upper Platte region near Fort Laramie. The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie reduced Lakota sovereignty and ceded a large amount of territory to the United States. After being weakened by starvation, disease, and attacks on their villages, the Lakota signed another treaty at Fort Laramie in 1868, making them dependent on the [[Government of the United States of America|U.S. government]] for food and rations. The U.S. government ensured their dependence by exterminating the buffalo between 1870 and 1876. | In the 1830s, the Rocky Mountain Fur Company caused the Lakota to move south from the Upper Missouri to Upper Platte region near Fort Laramie.
