The Wounded Knee Essay

Wounded Knee Illistrates one of the final events in a long series of violent conflicts motivated by racism, disrespect and lack of understanding. The monument is now held in very poor condition and is not being watched with care this is a video from youtube about a trip to a monument. They had a dance called the rain dance, this was supposed to put the indians into peace and have the americans leave them alone, this is another video on youtube that explans the dance. The americans said that they were drunk when this battle of wounded knee happens and so they have a side to there story and this is what it is click on this link.
Wounded knee battle shows how the indians were brutaly taken over and disrespected by the americans. The Wounded Knee is a disgrace to the indian population everywhere. The battle of Wounded Knee is a battle of racism, disrespect, and lack of understanding between the indians and the amercians. The americans invaded the indians and took them over every one of them. The indians are put to shame and embarrssed by the acts of the amercians on the day of the wounded knee battle.
I think that the americans should've shown more respect and at least let the indians fight back, that is total disrespect to take them over completely like they did. The wounded knee battle shows how the Americans behaved back then, and it's not in a posotive way. We now as amercians, look back on this battle in discrace and no dignity. We should be ashamed and not feel proud of what we've done that day. We killed many inocent people and young kids.
