| مستخلص: |
The article discusses the Red Bird Crisis, also referred to as the Winnebago War. According to the author, violence as a way of life along the frontier in the Upper Midwest along with lead miners encroaching on the land of the Ho-Chunk, for whom lead was an important commodity, created growing tensions between the Native Americans and the white frontiersmen. It is also suggested that the crisis was the result of the Ho-Chunk's left over resentment from the War of 1812. The actions of the leader of the Ho-Chunk, Red Bird, and army officer William Whistler are also discussed. |
