Question

identify ways in which Dakota were pressured to give up their traditional way of life.Name at least two reasons

Answer 1

The Dakota people are a Native American tribe and a First Nations band gov’t that used to dominated the Plains, and they migrated yearly to follow the movements of American Bison which they hunted for subsistence, while also engaging in corn and tobacco farming (which they used exclusively for ceremonies). Near extinction of Buffalo herds vanquished their traditional lifestyle. Wars with other tribes and enroachement of their lands by whites made sticking to their traditional life much harder.
