Kuni – Winnebago Boy Escapes
After a Sioux uprising in 1862, two thousand Winnebago Indians were forced from their Minnesota homes to a reservation in Crow Creek, South Dakota. Many Indians died from the inhuman conditions encountered on the journey and even more at their destination; Crow Creek had little food, no farming, and no weapons for hunting.
