Wounded Knee

History 4 Minutes

Wounded Knee, located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, was the site of two conflicts between Native Americans and representatives of the U.S. government, including the U.S. Army and, later, the FBI. An 1890 massacre left some 150 Native Americans dead, in what was the final clash between federal troops and the Sioux tribe. In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied Wounded Knee for 71 days to protest conditions on the reservation.

Ghost Dance and Sitting Bull

Throughout 1890, the U.S. government was worried about the increasing influence at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of the Ghost Dance spiritual movement, which taught that Native Americans had been defeated and confined to reservations because they had angered the gods by abandoning their traditional customs.

This Day in History: 12/29/1890 – Massacre at Wounded Knee

On this day in 1890, in the final chapter of America’s long Indian wars, the U.S. Cavalry kills 146 Sioux at Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. Throughout 1890, the U.S. government worried about the increasing influence at Pine Ridge of the Ghost Dance spiritual movement, which taught that Indians had been defeated and confined to reservations because they had angered the gods by abandoning their traditional customs. Many Sioux believed that if they practiced the Ghost Dance and rejected the ways of the white man, the gods would create the world anew and destroy all non-believers, including non-Indians. On December 15, 1890, reservation police tried to arrest Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux chief, who they mistakenly believed was a Ghost Dancer, and killed him in the process, increasing the tensions at Pine Ridge. On December 29, the U.S. Army’s 7th cavalry surrounded a band of Ghost Dancers under the Sioux Chief Big Foot near Wounded Knee Creek and demanded they surrender their weapons. As that was happening, a fight broke out between an Indian and a U.S. soldier and a shot was fired, although it’s unclear from which side. A brutal massacre followed, in which it’s estimated almost 150 Indians were killed (some historians put this number at twice as high), nearly half of them women and children. The cavalry lost 25 men.

Did you know?

Nearly half of the Sioux killed at the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre were women and children.

Wounded Knee Massacre

The conflict at Wounded Knee was originally referred to as a battle—the Army troops involved were later rewarded with Medals of Honor—but in reality it was a tragic and avoidable massacre. Surrounded by heavily armed troops, it’s unlikely that Big Foot’s band would have intentionally started a fight. Some historians speculate that the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry were deliberately taking revenge for the regiment’s defeat at Little Bighorn in 1876.

Whatever the motives, the massacre ended the Ghost Dance movement and was one of the last major confrontations in the Indian Wars, America’s deadly series of wars against the Plains Indians and other Native Americans.

American Indian Movement

The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 in an effort to stop police harassment of Indians in the Minneapolis area. Borrowing some tactics from the Vietnam war protests of the era, AIM soon gained national notoriety for its flamboyant demonstrations. However, many mainstream Indian leaders denounced the youth-dominated group as too radical.

In 1972, a faction of AIM members led by Dennis Banks and Leonard Peltier sought to close the divide by making alliances with traditional tribal elders on reservations. They had their greatest success on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, after a group of young white men murdered a Sioux man named Yellow Thunder.

Although Yellow Thunder’s attackers received only six-year prison sentences, this was widely seen as a victory by the local Sioux accustomed to unfair treatment by the often racist judicial system. AIM’s highly visible publicity campaign on the case was given considerable credit for the verdict, winning the organization a great deal of respect on the reservation.

Wounded Knee Siege

AIM’s growing prestige and influence, however, threatened the conservative Sioux tribal chairman, Dick Wilson. When Wilson learned of a planned AIM protest against his administration at Pine Ridge, he retreated to tribal headquarters where he was under the protection of federal marshals and Bureau of Indian Affairs police.

Rather than confront the police in Pine Ridge, some 200 AIM members and their supporters decided to occupy the symbolically significant hamlet of Wounded Knee, site of the 1890 massacre. Wilson, with the backing of the federal government, responded by besieging Wounded Knee.

During the 71 days of the siege, which began on February 27, 1973, federal officers and AIM members exchanged gunfire almost nightly. Hundreds of arrests were made, and two Native Americans were killed and a federal marshal was permanently paralyzed by a bullet wound.

The leaders of AIM finally surrendered on May 8 after a negotiated settlement was reached. In a subsequent trial, the judge ordered their acquittal because of evidence that the FBI had manipulated key witnesses. AIM emerged victorious and succeeded in shining a national spotlight on the problems of modern Native Americans.

Trouble Continues at Pine Ridge

The troubles at Wounded Knee, however, were not over after the siege. A virtual civil war broke out between the opposing Indian factions on the Pine Ridge reservation, and a series of beatings, shootings and murders left more than 100 Indians dead. When two FBI agents were killed in a 1975 gunfight, the agency raided the reservation and arrested AIM leader Leonard Peltier for the crime.

The FBI crackdown coupled with AIM’s own excesses ended its influence at Pine Ridge. In 1977, Peltier was convicted of killing the two FBI agents and sentenced to life in prison. To this day, Peltier’s supporters continue to maintain his innocence and seek a presidential pardon for him.

And in 2021, members of the U.S. Congress petitioned President Joe Biden to revoke the Medals of Honor soldiers received for their participation in the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre.

    1. Another Somalia Immigrant scam uncovered by Nick Shirley in Minnesota

      Somalians are creating fake transportation companies. They pretend to take people to and from appointments, but not a single one ever has a passenger

      THERE ARE OVER 800 of these Somali owned in Minnesota

      “I started to see all these transportation companies going around and it was always a Somali driver — but they never had a passenger, never ever once.

      — So then I found out that in Minnesota, they have something called non-emergency medical transportation. So this is going to the dentist office, therapy, whatever it might be — and the research came back that there are 1,020 of them, and more than 800 of them are Somali-owned

      Nobody from the state of Minnesota ever cross-checks to see if any rides were ever actually provided. All they did was write the check.”

        1. They certainly did! Ha!

          “The United States revoked the visa of Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, as part of broader sanctions imposed in July 2025. The decision was announced by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated that Albanese was being sanctioned for cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC), which had issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

          As a result of the sanctions, Albanese is barred from entering the United States and cannot present her annual report to the UN General Assembly in New York, forcing her to deliver it in Geneva instead.

          The visa revocation is part of a wider set of penalties that also include the freezing of her U.S. assets, closure of her U.S. bank account, and inclusion on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) blacklist. This designation effectively cuts her off from the international banking system, preventing her from opening bank accounts, using credit cards, receiving payments, or making online transactions such as purchasing plane tickets. The sanctions also extend to any U.S. person or entity engaging in financial or material support for her, threatening penalties of up to $1 billion in fines or 20 years in prison.”

  13. EXCERPT: “…..This inspection implies that there have been some children on site at some point, possibly family, but the inspector couldn’t identify anyone in the building: “The program did not have a file for each child,” and, “The program did not have a file for each staff person.” No training, no equipment, no records. This place has never been a functioning daycare center. No one has ever believed that it was. But the government checks kept coming, and government inspectors kept coming around and playing make-believe.

    The context for this not-terribly-subtle crony class featherbedding:

    headline: 'adjusted for inflation, government spending per person in Minnesota has risen 23% since 2019'

    As government does more and spends more, government does less. Explosive budget growth leads to declining effectiveness and quality. Low-tax red states pave the roads. High-tax blue states slop cash around to friends. Progressive elected officials view the task of governance as a series of costumed performances…..

    ……A story in the New York Times this weekend notes that California has dropped its lawsuit against THAT ORANGE BASTARD for withdrawing federal funding to the state’s alleged high-speed rail project. The project was approved in 2008, the Times notes, and has been under active construction for a decade. The plan was to link Los Angeles and San Francisco with bullet trains by 2020. Result: “About 80 miles of guideway have been completed in the Central Valley, according to the authority,” without tracks. I walked around on some of that guideway back in August, if you remember the pictures.

    Money is spent. People receive the money. And then … uh … wait, are you saying you actually expected to find childcare at this childcare center?

    Blue Zone political culture is empty. There’s nothing in it. They don’t make anything, they don’t do anything, they aren’t trying to do anything. They’re trying to virtue signal and give money away to their friends, the only successes they seek. You can see the results everywhere.

    If you accidentally allow your eye to fall upon the pages of the New York Times, these days, you’ll notice that the good people, the warm and wonderful people who aren’t mean right-wing bigots, are just saying over and over again that Trump has failed and his entire project is irrecoverably over. Here’s the latest version of this column that they publish almost daily under a variety of bylines:

    headline: 'trump is getting weaker, and the resistance is getting stronger'

    The resistance can’t find its own ass with both hands and a team of assistants. The alternative to the Trump inflection is empty buildings with daycare center signs that are there solely to allow someone to cash government checks. You can hate Donald Trump and see that point. The Blue Model isn’t an alternative. It doesn’t do anything. It can’t. It doesn’t exist for that purpose. The Tim Walz/Gavin Newsom path, the kind and progressive answer to Mean Orange Man, is the purest form of impotent dipshittery ever devised by human minds, leading inexorably to insolvency and ruin. It cannot be redeemed. If you want to offer an alternative to MAGA, you’ll have to come up with something else.”

  14. “Medical Guilds are Bad Medicine: Monopolies, Oligarchy, Elitism, Authoritarianism and Groupthink are hurting patients, driving up costs, blocking innovation, and trampling civil rights”

    Dr. Robert W. Malone, Dec 29, 2025

    Restored Medieval Guild Halls at Grand Place, Brussels

    EXCERPT: “In a broad, metaphorical sense (as often used by economists like Milton Friedman or in historical analyses), the term “guild” refers to professional organizations and regulatory bodies that function like traditional medieval guilds by controlling entry into the profession, setting standards, influencing licensing, and protecting members’ economic interests. Common examples of Medical guilds include:

    • State Medical Boards. They are empowered by individual states to regulate licensing and discipline physicians (the closest to actual “guild-like” control over who can practice). During COVID, state medical boards became notorious for de-licensing physicians for not complying with arbitrary and capricious “standard of care” guidelines promoted by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the CDC (Rochelle Walinski and Dimitri Dasalakis), and the FDA (Janet Woodcock, Peter Marks).
    • American Medical Association (AMA). The largest and most influential physician organization, sometimes described as a “guild” due to its historical role in limiting physician supply and shaping reimbursement policies
    • American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). During COVID, was a leading advocate for masking children down to six months of age, and promoted gene therapy-based vaccination despite clear evidence of significant life-threatening myocarditis risk and extremely low pediatric COVID risk. Actively advocates that AAP members “fire” patients who are not fully compliant with AAP-endorsed vaccine schedules. Actively advocates for “cocooning”, requiring grandparents and relatives to be revaccinated for common childhood illnesses before being allowed to visit newborn children. Actively advocates for “gender affirming care” and “gender reassignment surgery” for children.
    • American Dental Association (ADA) — Similarly functions with strong professional control in dentistry

    In modern usage, most people refer to these as professional medical associations or specialty societies rather than “guilds.” Still, the guild analogy persists in discussions of professional self-regulation and barriers to entry because the documented monopolistic behavior of these organizations is very similar to the anti-competitive excesses associated with the Guild-controlled economies of Europe from the Middle Ages to the early stages of the Industrial Revolution.

    The disruptive, transformational culture of innovation and mass production finally broke the centuries-long economic hold of the Guilds, which played a key role in developing and organizing the European cities and States that arose during the Middle Ages. One of the most famous artifacts of the era of the Guilds can be seen at Grand Place in Belgium (just a short walk from the modern building that houses the European Union), where each elaborate building was built and owned by one of the powerful trade guilds that dominated the European economy at the time, serving as a physical reminder of the economic power and influence of the Guild that occupied each building.

    Headquarters of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), 183,603 square feet, Itasca, IL, completed in 2017 at a cost of $47,356,708. Annual revenue of the AAP is approximately 75M$.

    Headquarters of the American Medical Association (AMA), a 52-story skyscraper in downtown Chicago, is located at 330 North Wabash Avenue, Suite 39300, and is known as AMA Plaza. The AMA leases floors 39-47 (265,000 square feet) at an annual cost of approximately 7-8M$. Annual revenue for the AMA is approximately 500M$.What is a Guild?

    In the most generous and benign sense, a Guild is a group of people who band together because they do the same kind of work, share common interests, or want to achieve something together. The meaning changes quite a bit depending on the context. Historically, Guilds have often been associated with a variety of self-serving, monopolistic, anti-competitive, and anti-innovative behaviors……”

  19. “BREAKING: We The People demand ACCOUNTABILITY!”

    Michael T. Flynn LTG USA (RET), Dec 29, 2025

    Dear Mr. POTUS,

    I know you are listening to We the People. This message is sent on behalf of a very frustrated 79 million Americans who voted for you and millions more who refuse to be ignored.

    Therefore, we are designating 2026 as THE YEAR OF ACCOUNTABILITY! Why now? Because the country is at a breaking point. Our freedoms are being chipped away in plain sight. Our government has grown bloated, arrogant, and unaccountable.

    Public trust has not merely declined; it has been obliterated. Power has been stripped from citizens and hoarded by bureaucrats, agencies, and unelected elites. Those who call themselves leaders protect each other while the American people pay the price. Civic duty has vanished from classrooms, replaced by obedience and ideology. The family, once the backbone of this nation, has been systematically weakened and devalued.

    Enough is Enough!

    At its core, this is not partisan. All Americans are demanding ACCOUNTABILITY. We the People reject the lies, the gaslighting, the censorship, and the deliberate erosion of our lived reality over the past decade. We remember what was done. We know who did it. We are no longer willing to move on without consequences.

    The message is unmistakable and unstoppable. Americans demand ACCOUNTABILITY. So, Mr. POTUS, the question for you to answer is simple. Will you stand with We The People or will you protect the system that failed us?

    Make 2026 the year of ACCOUNTABILITY. We will stand with you through thick and thin like we always have, but you must respect our wishes. If you don’t, as our founders warned, the deep state concentration of power in government will lead to greater corruption and eventual tyranny. And your legacy in history will be tarnished beyond repair.”

    Respectfully,

    1 of the 79 million voters

    1. JUST IN: Rep. Tom Emmer says PROSECUTION is ON THE TABLE against Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison – because whistleblowers are now coming forward with bombshell claims of retribution for trying to expose fraud

      GOOD! GET MOVING!

      “Whistleblowers are coming forward, and if they are real, and if what they’re saying can be documented, and what they’re saying is they told Tim Walz, they told Keith Ellison about the fraud when it was happening, and they not only didn’t do anything, they retaliated against them…”

      “…if that’s true, if that can be documented, these guys NEED TO BE PROSECUTED, held accountable and prosecuted to the full extent of the law!”

      Put the whistleblowers on the record and force under-oath testimony of Walz and Ellison. Subpoena all documents. Gather the evidence and immediately put federal prosecutors on these complicit Democrats.

      It has to stop.

      At the beginning he says they have known about the daycare and other fraud for years and that it is just now being publicized, thanks to the Trump administration. Investigations have been ongoing.

  32. “The DC Pipe Bomber Confesses: It wasn’t about Trump.”

    Techno Fog, Dec 29, 2025

    Brian Cole: DC pipe bomb suspect's mom, Delicia, trolled on social media; 'he wanted to…' | Hindustan Times

    “Yesterday, in its memorandum in support of pretrial detention, the Government released details of the confession of Brian Cole, Jr., the now-admitted DC pipe bomber.

    Cole’s December 4, 2025 arrest coincided with a search of his home and his electronic devices. This included the search of Cole’s Samsung phone, which according to the Government had been “factory reset” – or “wiped” – 943 times between December 2020 and his arrest on December 4, 2025.

    Inside Cole’s home, the FBI recovered:

    • A Home Depot shopping bag containing three black iron end caps, one galvanized end cap, two 1-inch by 8-inch pipe nipples, and a Home Depot receipt dated November 16, 2020, for two 1-inch by 8-inch pipe nipples, three black iron end caps, and gloves located inside a closet accessible only through the defendant’s bathroom.
    • A Lowes shopping bag containing two galvanized end caps located inside the same closet.
    • 14-gauge red wire and wire strippers located inside the garage.

    And inside Cole’s vehicle, the FBI found materials consistent with those of the pipe bombs, including a pipe end caps, pipe nipples, and a nine-volt battery.

    After his arrest, Cole was taken to the FBI’s Washington Field Office, where he waived his Miranda rights and “was interviewed by investigators for multiple hours.”

    Cole Confesses.

    Throughout the first couple of hours of the interview, Cole maintained his innocence. He admitted to owning the Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes, stating he “threw them away” because “they were old and they were coming apart.”

    Man arrested over pipe bombs before Jan. 6 Capitol attack | AP News

    Finally, after being presented with a video still of himself from the night the bombs were planted and after being reminded of the penalty for lying to federal agents, Cole admitted he built and planted the bombs.

    Cole walked the agents through the “construction, transportation, and planting of the pipe bombs.” The supplies, as we have seen from the criminal complaint, were purchased from home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot. Cole learned to make black powder from a video game and viewed various science-related YouTube videos to “assist him in creating the devices.”

    The bombmaking materials were hid in a closet inside his home so they wouldn’t be found by his family. The devices were assembled in the hours before he loaded them into a shoebox in the back seat of his Nissan Sentra and dropped them off in Washington, D.C. on January 5, 2021. Aware of the potential to be identified, he wore a mask and hood and gloves to avoid fingerprints. He parked his car and proceeded to place the bombs at the RNC and then DNC. The kitchen timers on both devices were set to 60 minutes.

    Unsurprisingly, the devices were not tested before they were planted. Cole said he was “pretty relieved” that the bombs didn’t detonate – apparently his goal wasn’t death, just destruction. It’s hard to get into his head, but that explanation actually makes sense. He didn’t place and set the bombs at a time to maximize casualties. And his expression of “relief” is corroborated by his decision to not continue with his personal bomb project. Though he did buy more materials after the fact, it looks like his interest in a terror campaign eventually waned.

    When asked about his motive, Cole explained that “something just snapped” after “watching everything, just everything getting worse.” The Government hasn’t explained what “everything” entailed – perhaps they didn’t follow-up on that statement. Cole targeted both the RNC and the DNC because he wanted to do something “to the parties” because “they were in charge.” He further stated “I really don’t like either party at this point.”

    The idea for pipe bombs came from “his interest in history” – specifically from the Troubles, a sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland that involved a number of deadly bombings both there and in England. Cole denied that the bombs were “directed toward Congress or related to the proceedings scheduled to take place on January 6.”

    Before his confession, Cole told the FBI agents that he drove his Nissan Sentra to Washington D.C. on the evening of January 5, 2021 to attend a protest concerning the outcome of the 2020 election. He explained:

    “I didn’t agree with what people were doing, like just telling half the country that they – that their – that they just need to ignore it. I didn’t think that was a good idea, so I went to the protest.”

    Cole didn’t tell his family that he “was going to a protest in support of [then President] Trump.” He also stated that it was after the 2020 election “when it first seemed like something was wrong.”

    It’s hard to take those pre-confession statements at face value. For starters, they were made in support of an obvious and premeditated lie created out of self-preservation: Cole’s false assertion that he was in DC for a Trump protest.

    We also doubt Cole’s statement that only after the 2020 election did he feel that something seemed “wrong.” His purchases of bomb-making materials started as early as 2019, with the more essential materials – the pipes and timers – bought in the summer of 2020. As we previously summarized:

    • He purchased the same galvanized pipes used in the bombs at two different Northern Virginia Home Depot locations in June and November 2020.
    • Cole purchased 12 pipe end caps (consistent with those found outside the RNC and DNC) from four different Home Depot locations in 2019 and 2020.
    • Cole bought 9V battery connectors from Micro Center in Northern Virginia in 2019. Cole purchased steel wool from Home Depot in 2020.
    • He bought two white kitchen timers from a Wal-Mart in Northern Virginia in June 2020 that matched those found at the scenes.

    Maybe there was a triggering event – whether political or in his personal life. Or perhaps his slow disgust at the US political system burned in his isolation, leading to his desire to mimic historical insurgencies and blow it all up. Or to at least send a signal to those he considered responsible.

    From all the available information, it appears Cole kept this secret to himself for nearly five years. His extracurricular activities were hidden from his family. His phone was wiped. There is no sign he took credit for the bombs online or shared his plans with his network. It’s easy to think he was recruited or enticed or encouraged (and, this early in the case it is still entirely possible), but we must also consider the fact that his actions are consistent with what a radicalized loner might feel are necessary.

    But of course, there’s still questions remaining on how and why the FBI bungled this investigation for years…”

    MTG is airing all her MAGA Grievances with the NYT!

    The last one is the most interesting.

    Greene says she didn’t like ‘MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization’

    Outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told The New York Times in an interview released this week that she “never liked” the “sexualization” of women she said goes on at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

    “I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization,” Greene said. “I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women.”

    “I have two daughters, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts,” she added.

    The Georgia Republican’s comments were part of wide-ranging conversations the outlet had with her over the past two years, during which she outlined her break from the president.

    “Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong,” Greene told the Times. “You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that.”

    Kenya Linked To Minnesota Fraud As FBI Expands Its Investigation – AfricasNow

    “According to investigations, the proceeds from this operation were invested worldwide, particularly in Kenyan real estate.

    According to investigations, more than Ksh32 billion (USD250 million) was stolen from programs designed to feed hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    This makes the “Feeding Our Future” case one of the largest ones in U.S history.

    Court documents have since revealed that part of the millions which were siphoned were channeled into the purchase of high-end assets in Kenya, including swanky apartment buildings in the Eastlands area and the coast.”
