BATTLE OF LEXINGTon
The Battle of Wounded Knee happened December 29, 1890
The name "Wounded Knee" originates from the Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, where a tragic confrontation occurred between the U.S. Army and Lakota Sioux in December 1890. The name reflects the location of the massacre, during which hundreds of Lakota were killed, including many women and children. The creek was named after a nearby Lakota chief, Wounded Knee, who was known for having a wounded knee from a previous battle. The event has since become a significant symbol of the struggles between Native Americans and the U.S. government.
THere was never a person called "Wounded Knee".The famous massacre that took place in December 1890 was not named for a person but for a small creek nearby - chankpé opi wakpála or Wounded Knee Creek in Lakota. This name existed long before the battle took place and probably refers to a long-ago fight between the Lakotas and another tribe such as the Crows, when a warrior on one side was wounded by an arrow in the knee.
