The Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 was a culmination of tensions arising from the Ghost Dance movement, which sought to restore Native American culture and bring about a renewal of their way of life. This spiritual movement was seen as a threat by the U.S. government, leading to increased military presence among Native communities. When the U.S. Army attempted to disarm a band of Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek, a confrontation escalated into violence, resulting in a tragic massacre of hundreds of Native Americans.
