South Dakota Historical
Wounded Knee Massacre began on the morning of December 29, 1890. Due to the unrest from the murder of Chief Sitting Bull, the United States Army was sent to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to disarm and remove the Lakota. There are different versions of what happened next, but the cavalry (490 men) ended up shooting and killing over (mostly disarmed) 250 Lakota men, women and children.
