The correct answer is D. The Treaty of Fort Laramie, signed in 1851, promised the Lakota Sioux the territory of Black Hills.

Explanation:

The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, also known as the Horse Creek Treaty, was signed on September 17, 1851 between the United States and the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Shoshone, Assiniboine, Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Indian nations.  

It was signed two and a half years after the start of the California gold rush.

By this treaty, the American government left control of the Great Plains to the Amerindians and paid annually fifty thousand dollars for fifty years in exchange for the right to build roads and forts on the Amerindian territory and the free passage of settlers on the Oregon Trail.

This treaty opened a relatively short period of peace, as the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, which began in 1859, sparked covetousness over new Native American territories and the arrival of nearly 100,000 gold seekers lobbying for gold. the authorities to obtain land, leading them to sign the treaty of Fort Wise on February 18, 1861, resulting in thirteen divided Indian territories. The Cheyennes disavowed the chiefs who had signed the treaty and remained on their land.

After the Sand Creek massacre of 1864, the Amerindian wars resumed and the following treaty was symbolically signed again at Fort Laramie. This new version of the treaty of 1851, completely transformed, knew a new wave of questioning during the gold rush in the Black Hills, which triggered the war of the Black Hills, and his famous battle of Little Bighorn.
