Ruth told me about when she was a child. In school, they were punished if they were caught speaking Lakota, their native language. They were taught to be ashamed of who they were. Ruth may have been poor by common standards, but she was very proud of who she was and was among those who caused me to rethink and change the point of view of my photodocumentary.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The real battle was at Greasy Grass where Custer died & we got your flag. No Medals!

I subscribe to the Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social email list and her article on what happened at Wounded Knee, in full context, was staggering. Hegseth giving those monsters medals is an abomination. They killed 25 of their own soldiers, and then women and children. #WoundedKnee

Broken promises? Hunger? A Ghost Dance? Inequality? Prejudice? Massacre?

vor 135 Jahren begingen Angehörige des 7.US-Kavallerie-Regiments ein Massaker hunderten wehrlosen Angehörigen verschiedener Sioux-Stämme, bekannt als Massaker von #WoundedKnee. 20 dieser Soldaten erhielten dafür(!) die Medal of Honor- #Hegseth will, dass das so bleibt.

“Everyone knows Custer died at Little Big Horn. But what my book presupposes is, maybe he didn’t?” That’s the energy this man is giving off right now. I feel for anyone that has to serve under these clowns.

On 29 December 1890, a Lakota encampment on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation was attacked by the U.S. Army and close to 300 Native Americans were murdered near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota.

Even the US Army's official history portrays Wounded Knee as a massacre in which "soldiers also employed artillery despite the presence of numerous noncombatants... including women and children..."

Tough blow. A bill to recognize #WoundedKnee as a Sacred Site was blocked by @SenThomTillis of NC, citing 'issues with Tribal Leadership.' Frustrated with Pine Ridge leadership, not Cheyenne River. Sad this blocked honoring our heritage. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth on.soundcloud.com/xvr4Vo7zTC1Q...

December 29, 1890 - The U.S. Army killed approximately 300 Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee, in the new state of South Dakota. The 7th Cavalry (Custer's old command) fired their artillery amidst mostly unarmed women, children, and fleeing men.
