"Vast portions of five U.S. states — North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana — are Indian land according to a treaty to which the American government voluntarily assented. The highest legal authority in the United States has acknowledged that a significant portion of the land in question is rightfully Lakota. The American government refuses to return that land....Americans have unjustly taken vast tracts of land. This President's Day, let's uphold our treaties and return it." - North Dakota Has Way, Way, Way More Oil Than We Thought
"This war was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father who came to take our land from us without price." - Teaching With Documents - The Sioux Treaty of 1868
