Purpose Statement: This website will allow you to explore basic Lakota religious beliefs and consider how those beliefs contributed to conflict with US expansion and settlement. This is important because religion forms a core part of group identity and even today religion leads to violent conflict in many parts of the world. By assessing the role of religion in this historical conflict, you will be able to understand how religion contributes to modern-day disputes and how to effectively respond to those disagreements in a peaceful way.
