U.S. Cavalrymen Kill 173 Native Americans

January 23rd, 1870 155 years ago

In Montana, U.S. cavalrymen engaged in a massacre against a group of Blackfeet Indians, resulting in the deaths of 173 individuals, predominantly women and children. This violent encounter arose from tensions following the Blackfeet's non-compliance with government policies and was marked by the U.S. Army’s aggressive tactics.
