The Dakota Conflict

I think that the Europeans are at fault for starting the Dakota Conflict because they invaded a land that was not theirs. They wanted the Native Americans to leave the land that had been theirs for hundreds of years.
When the Europeans came over they caught all of the animals that the Native Americans had caught for the years before the Europeans came over. There was very few animals left because it was winter and the Dakota were starving, so they went to the Europeans for food when they didn't give them any they stole some. This made the Europeans very angry and they said"Let them eat grass." This was highly offensive to the Dakota because to them that said the Europeans thought of them as animals. And that is what I think of the Dakota Conflict.
