Today is the 133-year-anniversary of Wounded Knee Massacre. The US Government took their land, broke a treaty and guarantee to give them food and supplies, then sent the U.S. Army, who killed 300 Lakota including 60 women & children😓

The US Govt then:
•Awarded 20 medals of honor to the soldiers guilty of genocide
•Refused to pay reparations or build a memorial
•Waited 100 years to apologize

@QasimRashid As an Aussie not familiar with the true (not Hollywood versions) of American Indian history, I first read about this massacre by reading 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee' book by Dee Brown.
Even though that was many years ago, I could never forget the absolute horror & deliberate destroying of a wonderful culture & peoples. Also, of course, the British settlement of Australia nearly wiped out the First Nation's people here, too.

@katktr @QasimRashid you should read "killers of the Flower moon" too. Historically accurate.
