In this source Reuben Gold Thwaites interviewed Walking Cloud a Ho-Chunk leader about the Black Hawk War. The war was caused because Black Hawk who was a Sauk leader was trying to resettle on land that was given to the U.S in the Treaty of St. Louis. Walking Cloud mentions how One-eyed Decorah was not a good person and was made a chief because of the American Fur Company. He also talks about attempts made to remove his tribe and about his belief in the Great Spirit that is involved in the ritual the tribe has when someone dies. This source ties to the theme by showing that the U.S completely ignored the fact that Native Americans already lived on land that was included in the Treaty of St. Louis. This shows the complete disrespect the settlers had for the rights of the Native Americans.
