DESCRIPTION:
December 29, 1890 near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Soth Dakota at least 150 men, women and children of the Lakota Sioux were killed and 51 wounded. Some estimates placed the number of dead at 300. 25 US troopers also died and 39 wounded. It's believed that many of these were the victims of friendly fire, as the shooting took place at close range in chaotic conditions.
On that December morning the troops went into the camp to disarm the Lakota. One version of events claims a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant to give up his rifle, claiming he paid a lot for it. A scuffle over Black Coyote's rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in the 7th Cavalry's opening fire from all sides. Most of the men had already surrenderd their weapons. The few worriors who still had weapons began shooting back, but were quickly suppressed. The surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many...most were unarmed.
