The Battle of Wounded Knee U.S. Army View

The Leaders on The Indian Side were Big Foot and Sitting Bull. They were the leaders of the Sioux tribe. The leaders of the U.S. army was Nelson Miles, and James W. Forsyth.
 * Leaders and Involved Parties:**

The battle took place at Wounded Creek in South Dakota, part of the Northern Plains.
 * Where:**

There were a number of major events that lead up to the massacre. One of them was killing of Sitting Bull, and the gun shot at wounded knee. Another major event was a spirtual movement spread among the Lakota dubbed the ghost dance. A third thing was the elmination of the buffalo, and the Lakota's nomatic life style.
 * Major Events:**

The army brought them to the reservation. They were going to disarm them the next day. They were watching over the tribe of 350 indians when a gun went off. They didn't know who shot the gun. At least 150 indians, and at least 25 troops were killed.
 * Stratigeies:**

The army was moving them to a reservation. I don't think the army should have done that because they could try to share land and resources. The land and resources were orginally belonged to the indians, And it should have not been taken away.
 * My view:**
