Nobody did an accurate count of the natives killed before they were tossed together into a burial pit, but 180 is a reasonable estimate. Witnesses later stated that "about half" of the 350 natives present were killed.25 soldiers were killed and 39 wounded, almost certainly all resulting from shots from their own side.
During the Indian Wars and the subsequent relocation of the nations to their respective reservations, a sense of distrust was fostered as time and again treaties were broken by the US government. In 1891, following the massacre at Wounded Knee the understanding that either the native cultures gave in and went peaceably to their reservations or they would be killed was apparent to all.
A total of 5 people were killed as a result of the Boston Massacre. Some of them died from their wounds several weeks after the shooting. 6 were wounded but survived.
It is known in history as the Battle of Wounded Knee or the Wouded Knee Massacre or the Chief Bigfoot Massacre and it happened at Wounded Knee Creek, 11 miles west of present day Batesland, South Dakota.
