The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred on December 29, 1890, when U.S. Army troops killed around 300 Lakota Sioux men, women, and children near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. This tragic event marked the end of the Indian Wars and symbolized the brutal suppression of Native American tribes by the U.S. government.
