The tragedy at wounded knee occured when Sitting Bull, chief of the Lakota Sioux, was being hunted down for being the leader of the "ghost dance," the spiritual dance that was performed so that the bufallo would come back and all the white settlers would leave. Troops came to Sitting Bull's reservation, and Sitting Bull died in an exchange of gunfire. The other particapnts of the Ghost dance then escaped, but troops went after them. At Wounded Knee Creek, gunfire broke out and 200 largely unarmed Lakota and 25 US soldiers were killed.
