1. The establishment of reservations for Native American tribes.
2. Recognition of Native American sovereignty.
3. An increased trust between Native Americans and the US government.
4. Formation of a Native American army to fight against US troops.
Immediate consequences of the Sand Creek Massacre included the establishment of reservations for Native American tribes as a means of "protecting" them from further attacks. However, this only further marginalized and isolated Native American communities. Additionally, there was no recognition of Native American sovereignty following the massacre, as the US government continued to forcibly remove and relocate tribes. Trust between Native Americans and the US government was severely damaged, leading to increased tensions and resistance. Some Native American communities formed their own armies to defend themselves against further attacks by US troops.
