What was the last battle between the American Indians and the federal troops?

The Pine Ridge Campaign (November 1890 -- January 1891) led to the last major conflict with the Sioux which resulted in the Wounded Knee "Massacre" on December 29, 1890. I personally have trouble with the word "massacre", since to me the battle was the result of an Indian who would not give up his rifle, a failure in command, and inexperienced soldiers who opened fire without orders often shooting there own men. This lead to a general outburst of firing. At the end 150 men, women, and children of the Sioux had been killed and 51 wounded; twenty-five soldiers also died, thirty-nine were wounded (6 of the wounded would also die). If you plan a massacre you don't count on killing your own people. There were two small skirmishes later, 1) October 5, 1898, Leech Lake, Minnesota at the Battle of Sugar Point; 2) the battle of Bear Valley, Arizona when the cavalry engaged and captured a band of Yaquis Jan 9, 1918.

What were the causes and consequences of the battle of wounded knee?

The Battle of Wounded Knee, which occurred on December 29, 1890, was primarily caused by tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux, over land, resources, and cultural suppression. The immediate trigger was the Ghost Dance movement, which frightened white settlers and led to increased military presence. The battle resulted in the tragic deaths of around 300 Lakota men, women, and children, marking a significant and brutal end to the Indian Wars. Its consequences included a further decline in Native American resistance and intensified policies of assimilation and displacement.
