Group of Lakota skinning cattle, during meat rations

Group of Lakota skinning cattle, during meat rations distribution, c. 1887-92. At Pine Ridge Reservation, according to treaty, beef and other rations were provided monthly. Failure to supply adequate food to replace Indians traditional sources, was a major cause of the Indian poverty, leading to the Ghost Dance Movement and the Wounded Knee Massacre.
