"The Wounded Knee Massacre", (a."incorrectly"k.a.: "The Battle of Wounded Knee"), was a "massacre" of over three hundred Lakota people, by soldiers of the United States Army. It occurred on December 29th 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek, (Čhaŋkpé Ópi Wakpála) on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in the U.S. state of South Dakota, following a botched attempt to disarm the Lakota camp. On the morning of December 29th, the U.S. Cavalry troops went into the camp, to "supposedly" disarm the Lakota. By the time the massacre was over, more than 300 Lakota people had been killed,with many of them being women, children and Elders and 51 more were wounded, (4 men and 47 women and children, some of whom died, shortly after ).
