From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Mass burial of the dead after Wounded Knee Massacre, 1891. Because of a misunderstanding between the chief and the commander of the American group, fighting broke out. Twenty-five troopers, along with 200 of the Sioux's men, women, and children lay dead. This site is now designated as a National Historic Landmark.
Reason
High enough res. Extremely high EV, just look at how they treated Native Americans back then. Also significant to our interactions and how they progressed over time with Native Americans. Editing is IMO, unnecessary.
