Observing Wounded Knee Day

Also known as Wounded Knee Day of Reflection, Wounded Knee Day is December 29, and honors the memory of the over 200 (some estimate as many as 300) Lakota Sioux men, women, and children who were massacred by the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment near Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
