Answer: Massacre of Lakota Sioux by U.S. Cavalry

Explanation: Hi,The Wounded Knee Massacre is considered the last major conflict between the U.S. Army and Native Americans. It was a one-sided battle where an overwhelming force of U.S. soldiers killed over 200 men, women, and children of the Lakota Indians.

The battle took place on December 29, 1890 near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota.

Historians estimate that somewhere between 150 and 300 Indians were killed. Around half were likely women and children.
