Tag: Wounded Knee Massacre

The Sand Creek Massacre and the Washita Massacre both led to the Wounded Knee Massacre. The Sand Creek Massacre brought the realization that “the soldiers were destroying everything Cheyenne – the land, the buffalo, and the people themselves,” and the Washita Massacre added even more genocidal evidence to those facts. The Sand Creek Massacre caused the Cheyenne to put away their old grievances with the Sioux and join them in defending their lives against the U.S. extermination policy. The Washita Massacre did that even more so. After putting the Wounded Knee Massacre briefly into historical perspective, we’ll focus solely on the Wounded Knee Massacre itself for the 120th Anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre.

Historical revisionists of American Indian history portray indigenous people being as violent as white Europeans were before they arrived on this continent and after settlement. Consequently, HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” was no exception in the scene with Sitting Bull and Col Nelson Miles on the Buffalo Robe, as Miles justified the genocide he was committing as “You were as violent as we are, we’re doing the same thing to you that you did to them (paraphrasing).”

I made a comment in “We Will Never Sell (Our Sacred Black Hills),”
and I want to share it with everyone.

You know,

When I listened to the radio show on Native American Calling that discussed “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” before it was on HBO, a question was asked, “Are they ready to hear the truth about Native American History?”

My first thought was & is yes.
 

Your comments and all the others here are just proof that that is in fact so.

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. 

Here is the radio show I was referring to, that was on Native American Calling.
