In 1973 the Oglala Sioux decided to take back their lands, specifically, Wounded Knee, South Dakota. They were joined by representatives of over seventy-five tribes each wanting to show the world that the atrocities against the Native American were still happening. Prior to the siege it was a time of dispair for the Sioux, particularly of the Pine Ridge Reservation where traditional Indians were being harassed, murdered and beaten by government supporters.
The siege lasted 71 days during which government representatives tried to starve them out, cut off their electricity and kill them, but the Indians never gave up. Unfortunately, the events following this siege were horrific. There were over 1200 arrests. approximately 64 unsolved murders, hundreds beaten and harassed.
The Indian wanted the FBI to investigate the over 370 treaties made with the American Indian and why not a single one was ever kept. Nothing came of it.
