Sand Creek and Wounded Knee were two significant events in American history that involved violent confrontations between U.S. forces and Native American tribes. The Sand Creek Massacre occurred in 1864 when Colorado militia attacked a peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho camp, resulting in the deaths of many, including women and children. Wounded Knee, on the other hand, took place in 1890 when U.S. troops killed over 250 Lakota Sioux during a botched attempt to disarm them, marking a tragic end to the Indian Wars. Both events symbolize the violent impact of westward expansion and the U.S. government's policies towards Native Americans.
