The Wounded Knee Massacre, which occurred on December 29, 1890, involved the U.S. Army, specifically the 7th Cavalry Regiment, and the Lakota Sioux tribe. The immediate trigger was the army's attempt to disarm the Lakota, leading to a violent confrontation. Key figures included Colonel James W. Forsyth, who commanded the troops, and the Lakota leader Big Foot, who was present with his band at the site. The massacre resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Lakota men, women, and children.
