The key people in the Great Sioux War: 1865-67 were Sitting Bull, General George Custer, Chief Red Cloud, and President Ulysses S. Grant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key people in the Great Sioux War: 1865-67 were:

1. Sitting Bull - a Lakota Sioux spiritual leader who united multiple tribes and resisted forced removal through armed resistance. He famously led the Native American forces in defeating George Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn.
2. General George Custer - led the U.S. Army's Seventh Cavalry during the battle and was killed along with his men in what became known as Custer's Last Stand.
3. Chief Red Cloud - a Sioux tribal leader who had previously ceded the Black Hills to the federal government, but others like Crazy Horse rejected this. He eventually acquiesced to a treaty with the government.
4. President Ulysses S. Grant - the President of the United States during the Great Sioux War.
