Wounded Knee was not a siege, it was a massacre.
On December 29, 1890, the US troops who were surrounding a camp of surrendered Sioux Indians from a nearby reservation were ordered to disarm the Indians. Accounts vary, but a shot was fired and the US troops opened fire and slaughtered nearly 300 Sioux. This number includes women, children, and babies fleeing the camp who were hunted down and killed.
