The specifics of what provoked the battle at Wounded Knee are in dispute among historians. Historically, it is known that Samuel M. Whiteside and his cavalry came across a group of Sioux Indians. It is theorized that there was no immediate conflict until a Sioux chief Yellow Bird began to chant and dance calling spirits that allegedly made them bullet proof.

What was Sand Creek and Wounded knee?

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.

Are you considered down where the knee hits or where the ball hits in football?

What matters is where the ball is when any part of your body besides your foot or hand touch the ground. Or if you get caught and pushed back, it's the point of maximum forward progress, on the theory that the play ended when you started to be pushed backwards.

The Wounded Knee Massacre or the Battle of Wounded Knee was the last armed conflict between the Great Sioux Nation and the United States of America and of the Indian Wars. This last battle in the American Indian wars took place on DECEMBER 29, 1890 when the Sioux refused to hand over their weapons to the 7th Cavalry, the troops opened fire.

With the knowledge that the butchery that occurred that day could not be, by any stretch of the imagination, classified as a battle, massacre is the proper term.
