The battle of wounded knee was the last major battle between the Native Americans and the United States
In the battle, the American Troops massacred a lot of members of the Indian tribes which estimated to result in around 300 death.
This eventually lead to the National Congress of American Indian passed two resolutions condemning millitary awards for militaries who contribute to the killing of the natives.
