Try Washita, Sand Creek, and the aforementioned Wounded Knee. The United States did not cover itself with glory in dealing with the aboriginal population of North America. No other way to spin it.

Read the book MASSACRES OF THE MOUNTAINS by J. P. DUNN JR.
written around 1888.
Another good one is MY LIFE ON THE PLAINS BY G. A. CUSTER
And THE INDIAN WARS OF 1864 by Captain Eugene Ware.
Also THE SAVAGE YEARS An anthology edited by Shepard Rifkin.
You will never think of the Indians as "sweet little red skinned darlins" again.
The Little Big Horn is in CROW indian territory. The CROWS fought along side the 7th Cavalry. The Sioux, Cheyennes and Arapaho were INVADERS into CROW Land.
Will this re-enactment have the CROWS defeated by the Sioux and Chyennes again?

(If Custer had won the day would it be called another MASSACRE?)
