The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred on December 29, 1890, at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. It marked a tragic climax of tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux. The massacre involved the killing of hundreds of Lakota men, women, and children by U.S. Army soldiers, following the enforcement of the Ghost Dance movement, which was seen as a threat by the authorities. This event symbolizes the devastating impact of U.S. policies on Native American communities and is often viewed as a significant moment in the history of Indigenous resistance.
A central factor in the Wounded Knee Massacre was the Ghost Dance movement, a spiritual revival aimed at restoring Native American lands and way of life. This movement instilled hope among Native Americans that they could reclaim their sovereignty and bring about a better future. The U.S. government viewed the Ghost Dance as a threat, leading to heightened tensions and ultimately the tragic confrontation at Wounded Knee in December 1890, where hundreds of Lakota Sioux were killed.
The Lakota leader who was arrested by the U.S. Army during the Ghost Dance movement at Wounded Knee was Sitting Bull. His arrest occurred on December 15, 1890, as tensions escalated over the Ghost Dance, which was seen as a threat by the U.S. government. Following his arrest, his supporters gathered at Wounded Knee, leading to the tragic massacre on December 29, 1890.
