Wounded Knee centennial marks victims mass grave

A century after the Wounded Knee massacre a monument marks the mass grave of 146 Indian victims on Pine Ridge while ceremonies recall the 1890 battle and ongoing calls for reconciliation and land recognition. The site features a small church, bonfires, and attendees including Buffy St. Marie, Gov. Mickelson, and Senator Inouye.

Congress debate marks Wounded Knee anniversary

In October Congress expressed deep regret for Wounded Knee bloodshed of 1890 but stopped short of an apology or reparations. Descendants and Sioux advocates push for a national monument and compensation for property losses, while South Dakota lawmakers vow to pursue funds and a memorial next year.
