Wounded Knee Massacre (1890): The Tragic Killing of Lakota Sioux During a Disarmament Attempt

A thorough examination of the Sand Creek Massacre, covering the historical context of the Plains, the lead-up to the violence, the massacre itself, and the national response. Later chapters address the long-term consequences, modern implications, and the ongoing work of reconciliation and healing.

These events shaped how we remember the American West. Understanding what really happened—beyond the myths and Hollywood retellings—offers a clearer picture of a complex and often violent era of expansion and conflict.
