On Dec. 29th, 1890 about 300 Lakota men, women and children were massacred by US Army soldiers at Wounded Knee creek in Oceti Sakowin territory. We remember the pain, we pray for the cycles of trauma since and act to heal everyday onward. The greatest testament to our strength as Native people rests in the fact of our continued existence AND resistance.

Panelist says focus on individual conduct, not overall massacre, doomed Wounded Knee medals review • South Dakota Searchlight A man on the panel that reviewed medals awarded for the Wounded Knee Massacre said it focused on individual soldier conduct, rather than whether medals should be awarded for a massacre.

A man who served on the panel that reviewed medals awarded for the #WoundedKneeMassacre said a majority of the members focused on individual soldier conduct at the expense of the broader issue: whether any medals should be awarded for a massacre.

Trump is also directing all indigenous/American Indian museums to remove any phrasing or exhibit that makes “Americans” look bad. The removal of medals from soldiers who fought in the #WoundedKneeMassacre has been reversed. #revisionisthistory

NCAI Statement on Pentagon Decision to Maintain Medals for Soldiers at the Wounded Knee Massacre | NCAI The National Congress of American Indians - Defending Sovereignty since 1944

"Honoring those involved in the #WoundedKneeMassacre with the United States’ highest military award is incompatible with the values the Medal of Honor is meant to represent. Celebrating war crimes is not patriotic.”

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision that the soldiers who murdered 250 Lakota people (men, women and children) in the #WoundedKneeMassacre of 1890 will keep their Medals of Honour is beyond obscene. The massacre was a war crime, yet Hegseth declared "we honour their service". 😔 #USPolitics

This is not so much a story about current politics as it is a historical recounting of the #WoundedKneeMassacre of 1890. Though the politics these days are similar.

There is nothing about this that is honourable… It is one of the most shameful acts of brutality in US history. Genocidal ethnic cleansing 💔

This is what modern day Americans either don’t want to hear or they applaud.

Shame on you if you do!
