There was no Battle of Wounded Knee. What you are referring to is the Massacre of Wounded Knee. By 1890. Wavoka, a native prophet, had given the Indian new hope that they and all their relatives would return to this earth and things would be as they once were. The Army, afraid that the Sioux were planning an uprising,herded about 350 men, women and children onto the banks of the Wounded Knee Creek, even though the group was peacefully heading to join Red Cloud at the Pine Ridge Reservation. On December 29,1890 soldiers took all the weapons away from the group. One deaf native did not understand and in the scuffle, the gun went off. The soldiers reacted by gunning down the peoples. It was considered the end of the Free Indian.

I presume the question refers to the massacre which took place in 1890 at Wounded Knee in South Dakota and effectively marked the end of the US army's campaign to force native American tribes onto reservations established by the government.
I believe that it might have been the Aleutians if you count territories, this was WWII in Alaska. If you want states,I know there was a battle between Mexicans and Germans fighting against US soldiers in Arizona.

The Pine Ridge Campaign (November 1890 -- January 1891) led to the last major conflict with the Sioux which resulted in the Wounded Knee "Massacre" on December 29, 1890. I personally have trouble with the word "massacre", since to me the battle was the result of an Indian who would not give up his rifle, a failure in command, and inexperienced soldiers who opened fire without orders often shooting there own men. This lead to a general outburst of firing. At the end 150 men, women, and children of the Sioux had been killed and 51 wounded; twenty-five soldiers also died, thirty-nine were wounded (6 of the wounded would also die). If you plan a massacre you don't count on killing your own people. There were two small skirmishes later, 1) October 5, 1898, Leech Lake, Minnesota at the Battle of Sugar Point; 2) the battle of Bear Valley, Arizona when the cavalry engaged and captured a band of Yaquis Jan 9, 1918.
There were over 23,000 men killed, wounded, or missing after the end of the Battle of Antietam.
