On Dec. 29, 1890, a Lakota encampment on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation was attacked by the U.S. Army and close to 300 Native Americans were murdered near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota.
Beginning on Feb. 27, 1973, Wounded Knee was the site of a 71-day standoff between the American Indian Movement and federal law enforcement officials.
