Wounded Knee was a mass shooting of Americans, unless you don’t think Lakota Sioux Native Americans in 1890 were Americans.

Learn American history. Indians did not officially become citizens until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

Even I know that, and I am just a naturalized US citizen.

Ugly event, but they weren't citizens for another three decades. Americans, loosely, but wouldn't have been recognized as such at the time. IMO their status is a major argument against birthright citizenship. Even born off the reservation, All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside, they weren't subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Any more than the children of foreign nationals working in the US for their government, diplomats, military and such. Not subject to our jurisdiction, not citizens. Nothing in the 14th amendment exempts those illegally here, wasn't anticipated. Which changes nothing. Clearly citizens of another jurisdiction, in this case tribal, despite being subject to ours laws, were not subject to our jurisdiction.
