We did not ask you white men to come here. The Great Spirit gave us this country as a home. You had yours...we did not interfere with you....we do not want your civilization... Crazy Horse, Lakota Tribe
Hate to say it, but the Lakota migrated from the north and the land they had when Custer was around was basically land they stole from the Crows, whom they pushed out...

Amazing how such facts are kept out of the public discourse.

So that makes it okay in your books to kill them, move them onto prisoner of war camps, steal not only their land but all the riches that go with it with no compensation. It's back to that old white man trick “manifest destiny”. How do you like what Pelosi, Reid, and Obama are doing to you now? That my friend is not far from manifest destiny coming around and biting you on the ass.
