The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred in December 1890 during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison. The event took place on December 29, when U.S. Army troops killed hundreds of Lakota Sioux, marking a significant and tragic episode in Native American history. Harrison's administration faced criticism for the government's treatment of Native Americans, which contributed to ongoing tensions between the U.S. government and Indigenous peoples.
During the Indian Wars and the subsequent relocation of the nations to their respective reservations, a sense of distrust was fostered as time and again treaties were broken by the US government. In 1891, following the massacre at Wounded Knee the understanding that either the native cultures gave in and went peaceably to their reservations or they would be killed was apparent to all.

Following his arrest, his supporters gathered at Wounded Knee, leading to the tragic massacre on December 29, 1890.
