Wounded Knee

On Dec 29, 1890, the army attacked the indians at wounded knee.  300 Indians were killed while only 30 soldiers were killed.  There are not any markers at the place where the attack took place.  Now local Indians set up their stands and sell their craft.  They also tell the story of the battle.
