Think about how this situation compares to what you’ve already learned. How was the situation in the Black Hills similar to the situation in Colorado at Sand Creek?

In both places, the discovery of gold attracted settlers who moved onto Indigenous lands.

So the shared situation was that gold brought settlers who took over Indigenous lands.
