Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hello list members, I find a study of US history with the SAMVA USA chart a fascinating effort. Here is some more information on US-Indian relations from the middle of the 19th century. The problems of the Indians were no way over. The Battle of the Little Bighorn was a big setback for the US Army and has become legendary in US history. I hope you are enjoying the results of this inquiry as well. Indian reservation In 1851, the United States Congress passed the Indian Appropriations Act which authorized the creation of Indian reservations in modern day Oklahoma. Relations between settlers and natives had grown increasingly worse as the settlers encroached on territory and natural resources in the West. By the late 1860's, President Ulysses S. Grant pursued a stated "Peace Policy" as a possible solution to the conflict. The policy included a reorganization of the Indian Service, with the goal of relocating various tribes from their ancestral homes to parcels of lands established specifically for their inhabitation. The policy called for the replacement of government officials by religious men, nominated by churches, to oversee the Indian agencies on reservations in order to teach Christianity to the native tribes.The policy was controversial from the start. Reservations were generally established by executive order. In many cases, white settlers objected to the size of land parcels, which were subsequently reduced. A report submitted to Congress in 1868 found widespread corruption among the federal Native American agencies and generally poor conditions among the relocated tribes. Many tribes ignored the relocation orders at first and were forced onto their new limited land parcels. Enforcement of the policy required the United States Army to restrict the movements of various tribes. The pursuit of tribes in order to force them back onto reservations led to a number of Native American Wars. The most well known conflict was the Sioux War on the northern Great Plains, between 1876 and 1881, which included the Battle of Little Bighorn. Other famous wars in this regard included the Nez Perce War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_reservation The Battle of the Little Bighorn The Battle of the Little Bighorn —also known as Custer's Last Stand and, in the parlance of the Native Americans involved, the Battle of Greasy Grass Creek—was an armed engagement between a Lakota–Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. It occurred on June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory, near what is now Crow Agency, Montana. The battle was the most famous action of the Great Sioux War of 1876-77 and was a remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne, led by Sitting Bull (TÈŸatȟáŋka Ãyotake). The U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including a column of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, was defeated. Five of the Seventh's companies were annihilated and Custer himself was killed as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. This battle did not inflict the highest number of casualties by Native Americans against U.S. forces, however. That happened in 1791 at the Battle of the Wabash when the U.S army command suffered over 600 casualties. Nevertheless, the battle reassessed American outlook on Native American fighting abilities, as well as public perception of the Great Sioux War. The battle, and Custer's actions in particular, subsequently came under historical scrutiny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Little_Bighorn The attached chart shows the following for June 25, 1876: Venus-Venus period had started, which can bring problems for communal harmony. -transit 6th lord Jupiter at 0° 49' Scorpio/H5 was conjunct natal Jupiter and aspected by transit Rahu at 1° Pisces/H9 - transit 8th lord Saturn at 15° 54' Aquarius/H8 was afflicted by natal Ketu at 17° 47' Libra/H4. The placemen of Ketu in the SAMVA USA chart is uniquely explaining race relations in the USA. We can also see the stationary influences involving Saturn.
