@historyinmemes And what about the Cheyenne? Didn't they live in the Black Hills before the Lakota pushed them out?
English

In 1980, the Supreme Court awarded the Sioux nations $122 million for the Black Hills, but the tribes rejected the payment, arguing that accepting it would end their legal claim to the land. As a result, the money remained in a federal account, where accumulated interest has grown the award to more than $1 billion.
The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty guaranteed the Black Hills to the Sioux, but that agreement was challenged after Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer’s 1874 expedition revealed the presence of gold in the region.
Thousands of prospectors flooded into the area despite the treaty’s protections. When the Sioux refused to sell the land, Congress passed a law in 1877 that seized the Black Hills without their consent.
In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government had illegally taken the land and awarded the Sioux financial compensation. The tribes have continued to reject the payment, arguing that accepting it would surrender their claim to the sacred Black Hills.
The settlement has remained untouched for decades, growing with interest to more than $1 billion.

HEARTBREAKING: Former #Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. talks about the struggles of 100 million contract & how the money does not last forever.
“You give somebody a 5-year, $100 million contract. It’s 5 years for 60. We’re getting taxed: That’s 12 a year”
