Hey there, cowboy. This article looks a little bit small. I reckon you could impress me by contributing to it. Don't be shy now. |
Wapiti Indian Reservation is a Native American reservation in Red Dead Redemption 2 in the Grizzlies East region of the Ambarino territory.
The Wapiti Indians used to live within the reservation after being forced off by the US Army.
Background
The Wapiti peoples originally roamed the Heartlands before they were forcibly relocated to the Wapiti Reservation in Ambarino by settlers moving west as well as the American government. However, the reservation was not as suitable for farming as the lands taken away by the American government.
The relation between the Wapiti and the American government further deteriorates following the failed peace negotiations between Rains Fall and Henry Favours. As of 1907, the reservation itself has seemingly been abandoned for many years.
The areas of the reservation were believed to be oil-rich. This led to several attempts from Colonel Henry Favours, secretly supported by Oil magnate Leviticus Cornwall, to drive The Wapitis off the reservation. However, the newspapers, being available in Epilogue 1, revealed that there was only an unprofitable amount of oil in the reservation.
Notes
- At the base of the bridge at the south end of the Reservation, players can find a lockbox that contains the Dynamite Arrow Pamphlet, Guarma Rum, and a large jewelry bag.
- In Red Dead Online, there is a Fast Travel station in the southeastern part of the reservation.
Trivia
- Wapiti Avenue in Blackwater is named after them.
- It is the only Native American settlement in Ambarino.
- Players can't use weapons in the settlement.
- Natives in the settlement will often remark on the unusual presence of a White Man if Arthur Morgan visits the region before doing missions for Rains Fall.
