Sand Creek and Wounded Knee were two significant events in U.S. history that highlighted the violent conflicts between Native Americans and U.S. government forces. The Sand Creek Massacre occurred in 1864 when Colorado militia attacked a peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho village, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Native Americans, including women and children. Wounded Knee, which took place in 1890, involved the massacre of Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek by the U.S. Army, marking a tragic end to the Indian Wars. Both events symbolize the brutal impact of westward expansion and government policies on Indigenous peoples.
