Battle of Sugar Point (Chippewa victory over American forces)
Oct. 5, 1898
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.'"
