Answer 1

The correct response is: The government pushed the Sioux into the Dakotas.

This occurred following conflicts and a series of tensions that culminated in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. After the war, many Sioux were forcibly removed from their lands in Minnesota and relocated to reservations in the Dakota Territory.
