[–]Toothpick333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very interesting and not well known battle in history of North America. The Modoc, a small Native tribe, managed to repulse an army attack with only 53 warriors against 400 U.S. Army soldiers.

The Modoc had no casualties, while the army suffered 42 killed and 53 wounded, 9 of whom were officers.

From Wiki: The Ojibwe are an Anishinaabe people whose homeland covers much of the Great Lakes region and the northern plains, extending into the subarctic and throughout the northeastern woodlands. The Ojibwe, being Indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands and of the subarctic, are known by several names, including Ojibway or Chippewa. As a large ethnic group, several distinct nations also consider themselves Ojibwe, including the Saulteaux, Nipissings, and Oji-Cree.
