September 14, 1869 Battle of Popo Agie


Bannock and Shoshone people had supposedly ceded their land (it was Ojibway land) to United States and had a Reservation (Wind River Reservation) established. They formed an alliance with white invaders which did not go well with Anishinabe People who lived around Wind River Reservation. Bannock and Shoshone leaders allowed Americans to station American Soldiers near their Reservation and that set in motion a conflict between Ojibway People (Arapaho) who lived in that region of Wyoming, and Bannock, Shoshone and their white alliers. In this battle fought on Tuesday September 14, 1869, a force of possibly 200 Ojibway Soldiers, fought off a smaller force of 28 white soldiers who had been instructed by their commanders to battle them after they learned Anishinabe soldiers had just killed two whites. This battle lasted three hours and was won by Anishinabe Soldiers. White casualties were 2 killed and 2 wounded. Anishinabe casualties were 2 killed and 10 wounded.
