Which 1890 massacre at a South Dakota creek marked the end of major armed Lakota resistance?

The Wounded Knee Massacre was the 1890 massacre at a South Dakota creek that marked the end of major armed Lakota resistance.

On December 29, 1890, soldiers of the U.S. 7th Cavalry surrounded a Miniconjou and Hunkpapa Lakota camp near Wounded Knee Creek. A struggle began during an attempt to disarm the camp, and soldiers opened fire with rifles and Hotchkiss guns. At least 150 Lakota were killed, according to a commonly cited estimate, though some historians place the death toll higher; 25 U.S. soldiers also died.

The event occurred amid fear surrounding the Ghost Dance, a religious movement that many officials wrongly viewed as a military threat. The massacre ended the major armed conflicts commonly associated with the Indian Wars. The U.S. Army awarded Medals of Honor to several participants, a decision that remains controversial. In 1973, activists of the American Indian Movement occupied Wounded Knee.
