Wounded Knee, which refers to both the 1890 massacre and the 1973 occupation, is significant in U.S. history as it symbolizes the tragic culmination of the U.S. government's long-standing conflict with Native American tribes. The 1890 massacre resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Lakota Sioux, marking a devastating moment in the loss of Native sovereignty and culture. The 1973 occupation by Native American activists aimed to draw attention to ongoing issues of treaty violations and civil rights, highlighting the continued struggle for Indigenous rights and sovereignty in the United States. Both events underscore the historical and ongoing impact of colonialism on Native communities.

Why was the Battle of Wounded Knee important?
Wounded Knee was a slaughter of Sioux Indians who had agreed to go onto Reservation land. They were unarmed or in the process of turning over their weapons when the attack happened. There is speculation that a gun accidentally firing triggered it rather than malicious intent initiated it. Little Bird - a baby girl was the only survivor. Wounded Knee was brought to the attention of the American people by the book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee". The details of this slaughter by the US Calvary must be taken in its complete picture of history. Stealing Native American lands was wrong but at the time deemed necessary by the US Government. Looking back sees no peaceful conclusion to the demise of Native Americans. The US would not be the country it is now if the American push west was hampered by the Native Americans.
