The Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 was rooted in tensions between the U.S. government and Native American tribes, particularly the Lakota Sioux. The government sought to suppress the Ghost Dance movement, which was seen as a threat to its authority and a resurgence of Native spirituality. Arguments surrounding the event included the U.S. justification of military intervention to maintain order versus the perspective of Native Americans who viewed it as an act of brutal repression and violation of their rights. The aftermath highlighted the tragic consequences of colonial policies and the need for acknowledgment and reconciliation.
