In a time when an end to free roaming in their lands took place, more than three hundred Sioux Indianans were killed. The deaths of the Sioux Indians were remembered as the Massacre of Wounded Knee. It was no battle, but a massacre. It should not have occurred, but it did, where more than two-thirds of the Sioux Indians killed were women and children. The massacre became a symbolic meaning to an end of old Indians ways, since the Sioux Indians were determined to refuse the new American ways of living. But what is important to know is what reason was behind the slaughtering of innocent Indians?

While they were taking Sitting Bull into custody, there was a conflict between the Indians and the police, where Sitting Bull was killed instantly. The next person on the list was Big Foot, who had fled with his tribe to Pine Ridge, although the 7th cavalry army reached them and sent them to Wounded Knee (Brown, 2). What happened next would be the most unimaginable massacre known to most Indians in modern times.
