Both the Sand Creek Massacre and the Battle of Wounded Knee were tragic events in U.S. history that involved violent confrontations between American troops and Native American tribes. Each incident resulted in significant loss of life among Native Americans, highlighting the brutal consequences of U.S. government policies aimed at westward expansion and the suppression of Indigenous populations. Additionally, both events are marked by a betrayal of trust, as U.S. forces attacked groups that were either in negotiations or had previously been promised safety. These events reflect the broader context of conflict and systemic violence against Native Americans during the 19th century.
