From Wikipedia: "The Battle of Sugar Point, or the Battle of Leech Lake, was fought on October 5, 1898 between the 3rd U.S. Infantry and members of the Pillager Band of Chippewa Indians in a failed attempt to apprehend Pillager Ojibwe Bugonaygeshig ('Old Bug' or 'Hole-In-The-Day'), as the result of a dispute with Indian Service officials on the Leech Lake Reservation in Cass County, Minnesota. Often referred to as 'the last Indian Uprising in the United States', the engagement was also the first battle to be fought in the area of the United States known as the Old Northwest since the Black Hawk War in 1832. [...] U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs William A. Jones [...] later said in a report to the Secretary of the Interior Cornelius Newton Bliss, 'The Indians were prompted to their outbreak by the wrongs committed against them and chafed under unfair treatment. They now will go back to their homes and live peaceably if the whites will treat them fairly, which is very likely, as the whites were thoroughly impressed with the stand taken by the Indians. In this respect the outbreak has taught them a lesson.'"

On this day in 1855, US Troops from The Dalles led by Maj. Granville O. Haller consisting of 102 soldiers and a mountain Howitzer were defeated by Yakama warriors led by Kamiakin and Qualchan and Sinkiuse (an Interior Salish people) warriors led by Quil-ten-e-nock at Toppenish Creek. The US aggression followed the killing of Indian Agent Bolon who was in Yakama territory to investigate the killings of settlers who had assaulted Native women. The battle is considered the opening battle of the Yakima Wars, sometimes lumped together with the Puget Sound War, both of which were wars of resistance to settler encroachment in the Pacific Northwest. As they started losing the battle, Haller’s men abandoned their pack train, and left their dead behind. Under darkness, Haller’s men began the march back to The Dalles, which, when the sun rose, turned into a running battle. One soldier was killed in the retreat, with a total of five of Haller’s soldiers were killed and 17 were wounded. Of Kamiakin’s force, only two were killed. News of the win also reached another US Army force from Fort Steilacoom, led by Lt. William Slaughter, who upon hearing the news turned back to hide at Fort Steilacoom. After the end of the Yakima War, Kamiakin refused to surrender, escaping to Canada and then living with Séliš, Ql̓ispé, and k̓upawiȼq̓nuk in what was called Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana for a time. He refused to recognize the treaty or encourage his people to submit to federal rule for the rest of his life.
