The Sioux resistance following the Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 diminished due to a combination of factors, including the overwhelming military presence of the U.S. Army and the devastating loss of life and morale. The massacre marked a brutal end to the Ghost Dance movement, which had sought to restore Native American traditions and communal life. Additionally, many Sioux individuals were demoralized and disillusioned by the violence and betrayal they experienced, leading to a decline in organized resistance. The U.S. government's policies of assimilation further eroded the Sioux's ability to resist effectively.
