Women and children evacuated Wounded Knee as militants defend the village nine days after the takeover. Federal officials order non-residents to leave unarmed by 8 p.m. EST and warn that anyone exiting after could be arrested. About 200 residents remain, with 38 children and four women among the evacuees. The AIM demands tribal president Richard Wilson be dismissed and new elections, while authorities call for capitulation or violence.
