Wounded Knee was among the first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in United States history. It ended in the senseless murder of 297 people.

Wow.

Blame it on Wavoka, the Piute. He is the one who got the Ghost Dance craze started.
It so terrified the settlers in the Dakotas that they had the Army come in for protection.

I have been to Wounded Knee.
The cemetery there is up on a hill, and you can see forever up there.
The Sioux were massacred!
There was no place to hide for them.
It’s all prairie.

It is a heartbreaking scene to imagine.
A lonely desolate place, and it was unnecessary.
