Indians Press for New Boundaries and Aid in Treaty Talks
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail led chiefs in a council with Commissioners at Red Cloud Agency. They demanded changes to Nebraska boundary, larger reservation, prepaid goods, duplicate annuity bills, Catholic priests, and telegraph access, while insisting on continued agency control and protection of Black Hills gains. A cavalry guard surrounded the camp as talks pause for the day.
