Line 1: − '''The Wounded Knee Massacre''' was a battle between Indians and the U.S. Army on December 29, 1890. The U.S. Cavalry were ordered to remove some Lakota [[Sioux]] from their reservation in [[South Dakota]] to another reservation in [[Nebraska]]. The attempt to disarm the Indians turned fatal when a dispute over one tribesman's rifle turned into a major exchange of gunfire. + − − In the end, over 150 [[Native Americans]], including women and children, were killed, along with 25 U.S. soldiers, most of whom were killed by friendly fire. − − The battle ended the Indian wars as the Indians returned peacefully to their reservations. − − The battle is an iconic signpost of Native American history, usually brought up by liberals --they always call it a "massacre"--to attack national policy and seek additional privileges for Native Americans today. − − == References == − <references/> − − − [[Category:United States Army]] − [[Category:Gilded Age]] − [[Category:Native Americans]] − [[Category:Indian Wars]]
