Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geronimo surrendered to US forces in 1886, effectively marking the end of formal warfare between the US and American Indians. While Cochise and Mangas Colorados were Apache leaders who fought against the US in the mid-1800s, they both died before 1886. Wovoka was a Paiute spiritual leader who inspired the Ghost Dance movement in the 1890s, after the end of formal warfare. Sitting Bull was a Sioux leader who fought against the US in the late 1800s, but he surrendered in 1881, several years before the surrender of Geronimo.
