Who was the Indian named Wounded Knee?
THere was never a person called "Wounded Knee".The famous massacre that took place in December 1890 was not named for a person but for a small creek nearby - chankpé opi wakpála or Wounded Knee Creek in Lakota. This name existed long before the battle took place and probably refers to a long-ago fight between the Lakotas and another tribe such as the Crows, when a warrior on one side was wounded by an arrow in the knee.
Why was Molly Pitcher famous?
In the Battle of Monmouth in the Revolutionary War, Molly Pitcher saved many people from dying of thirst. She bravely carried water onto the battlefield to help wounded soldiers drink, while bullets were flying all around her. Also, when her husband was wounded, she took his place at the cannon for the rest of the day.
How did the wounded knee massacre get its name?
The "battle" or "massacre" takes its name from a nearby creek, called chankpe opi wakpala in Lakota. This name, meaning "the creek of a wounded knee", was given to the stream (a tributary of White River) long before the battle, so it does not refer to any wound received during that famous encounter.It more likely refers to some much earlier fight between the Lakota and another tribe (perhaps the Crows).
