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.

Which ones are the events of wounded knee?

The Wounded Knee events refer primarily to two significant incidents involving the Lakota Sioux. The first occurred in December 1890, when U.S. Army troops killed approximately 300 Lakota men, women, and children during a confrontation at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, marking a tragic end to the Indian Wars. The second event took place in 1973, when members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) led a 71-day occupation of the Wounded Knee village to protest against the U.S. government's treatment of Native Americans and demand treaty rights. Both events symbolize the struggle and resilience of Indigenous peoples in America.
