Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By 1890, the Sioux and other reservation Indians were largely living in poverty and despair, as their traditional way of life had been disrupted, and they were struggling to adapt to the imposition of Western values and culture. The devastating effects of forced removal from their ancestral lands, broken treaties, and government policies such as allotment had left many Native Americans struggling to survive, leading to high rates of alcoholism and other health problems. While some may have been working in mines or other industries, this was not a widespread phenomenon and did not mean that Native Americans had achieved economic independence or prosperity.
