The Horse Creek Treaty, also known as the Treaty of 1851, involved several Native American tribes, including the Sioux, Yankton, and Omaha, negotiating with the United States government. The large number of people present at the treaty negotiations created logistical difficulties, including challenges in communication, decision-making, and ensuring that all parties understood the terms of the treaty. Additionally, the diverse interests and perspectives among the various tribal representatives made reaching consensus on the terms of the treaty more challenging. These difficulties ultimately contributed to misunderstandings and disputes over the interpretation and implementation of the treaty provisions in the years that followed.
