Wounded Knee Massacre or
the Battle of Wounded Knee
• Last armed conflict between the Great
Sioux Nation and the United States of
America.
• On December 29, 1890, 365 troops of
the US 7th Calvary, surrounded an
encampment Lakota and Sioux near
Wounded Knee Creek. South Dakota
• The Army had orders to disarm them,
ensure their compliance and escort the
Sioux to the railroad for transport to
Omaha Nebraska
• During the process of disarming the
Sioux, a deaf tribesman named Black
Coyote could not hear the order to
give up his rifle. A scuffle over Black
Coyote's rifle escalated into an all-out
battle, with those few Sioux warriors
who still had weapons shooting at the
7th Cavalry, and the 7th Cavalry
opening fire indiscriminately from all
sides, killing men, women, and
children, as well as some of their own
fellow troopers.
• The 7th Cavalry quickly suppressed the
Sioux fire, and the surviving Sioux fled, but
US cavalrymen pursued and killed many
who were unarmed.
• By the time it was over, about 146 men,
women, and children of the Lakota Sioux
had been killed. Twenty-five troopers also
died, some believed to have been the
victims of friendly fire as the shooting took
place at point blank range in chaotic
conditions. Around 150 Lakota are believed
to have fled the chaos, with an unknown
number later dying from hypothermia
