The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty pledged that the Great Sioux Reservation, including the Black Hills, would be "set apart for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation of the Indians."In the 1980 case United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, the U.S. Supreme Court found that 1868 treaty had been repeatedly violated by the U.S. government and white settlers.
