The Wounded Knee events refer primarily to two significant incidents involving the Lakota Sioux. The first occurred in December 1890, when U.S. Army troops killed approximately 300 Lakota men, women, and children during a confrontation at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, marking a tragic end to the Indian Wars. The second event took place in 1973, when members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) led a 71-day occupation of the Wounded Knee village to protest against the U.S. government's treatment of Native Americans and demand treaty rights. Both events symbolize the struggle and resilience of Indigenous peoples in America.
