The Cleanup
The Bureau of Indian Affairs wanted to find a way to help the Native Americans get back to a regular way of life. They set up a group of twelve people, chaired by Robert Livingston, to examine the effects of Wounded Knee. They were sent to the Pine Ridge reservation to meet with the residents of the various districts that make up Pine Ridge. After the third meeting, Robert Livingston was the only one who stayed to continue and meet with other various districts. He learned that in some districts there hadn't been a federal agent in ten or more years.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs started projects and sent money to the districts so that they could start making improvements to the society that was drastically changed.
