On December 29, 1890, U.S. Army soldiers killed around 150–300 Lakota men, women, and children at Wounded Knee during efforts to suppress the Ghost Dance movement. (Wounded Knee later became a symbol of Native protest—most notably the 1973 AIM occupation—against broken treaties and government policies.)
