In December of 1890, a band of Lakota was traveling from the Cheyenne River Reservation to Pine Ridge. They were overtaken by the US Army's 7th Cavalry and escorted to a campsite near Wounded Knee Creek, where they were ordered to surrender their arms. On December 29, while the Lakota were being disarmed, a shot was fired, and within less than an hour 200 Lakota men, women, and children lay dead or dying | SDPB
