:{{Main|United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians|Black Hills land claim}}
The Sioux never accepted the legitimacy of the forced deprivation of their Black Hills reservation.<ref>"U.S. v. Sioux Nation" 448 US 371 at 384.</ref> Throughout the 1920s–1950s, they pushed their [[Black Hills land claim]] into federal court. After 60 years of litigation in the Court of Claims, the Indian Claims Commission, the U.S. Congress, the Supreme Court heard the case in 1980 and ruled that the federal government had illegally taken the Black Hills and awarded more than $100 million in reparations to the tribes. Stating that the land was never for sale, the tribes have refused to accept the money which is now over one billion dollars.<ref name="Cutlip 2018">{{cite web | last=Cutlip | first=Kimbra | title=In 1868, Two Nations Made a Treaty, the U.S. Broke It and Plains Indian Tribes are Still Seeking Justice | website=Smithsonian Magazine | date=November 7, 2018 | url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/1868-two-nations-made-treaty-us-broke-it-and-plains-indian-tribes-are-still-seeking-justice-180970741/ | access-date=April 16, 2020 | archive-date=April 22, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200422061346/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/1868-two-nations-made-treaty-us-broke-it-and-plains-indian-tribes-are-still-seeking-justice-180970741/ | url-status=live }}</ref>
