The Battle of Wounded Knee occurred on December 29, 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. It was a tragic confrontation between U.S. Army troops and Lakota Sioux, resulting from tensions over the U.S. government's suppression of Native American culture and the Ghost Dance movement. The conflict escalated when soldiers attempted to disarm the Lakota, leading to a chaotic exchange of gunfire that ultimately resulted in the deaths of around 300 Lakota men, women, and children, as well as 25 soldiers. This event is often regarded as a symbol of the U.S. government's brutal policies toward Native Americans and marked the end of the Indian Wars.
