Wounded Knee was a slaughter of Sioux Indians who had agreed to go onto Reservation land. They were unarmed or in the process of turning over their weapons when the attack happened. There is speculation that a gun accidentally firing triggered it rather than malicious intent initiated it. Little Bird - a baby girl was the only Survivor.
Wounded Knee was brought to the attention of the American people by the book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee". The details of this slaughter by the US Calvary must be taken in its complete picture of history. Stealing Native American lands was wrong but at the time deemed necessary by the US Government. Looking back sees no peaceful conclusion to the demise of Native Americans. The US would not be the country it is now if the American push west was hampered by the Native Americans.
