After the death of Sitting Bull, General Custer's old regiment rounded up about 350 Sioux and took them to a camp at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. The soldiers forced the Native Americans to give up their weapons, and, when a deaf native was confused as to why he was being asked to give up his gun, it went off in the ensuing struggle for the gun. The soldiers shot back. Over 300 unarmed Native Americans were slaughtered and the soldiers left the corpses to freeze on the ground. The Battle of Wounded Knee brought the Indian wars to an end.
