"On the morning of December 29, 1890, some 150 #Lakota men, #women and #children were massacred by the US #7thCalvary Regiment near #WoundedKneeCreek on the #PineRidgeIndianReservation. Some estimate the actual number closer to 300.

"Snowfall was heavy that December week. The Lakota ancestors killed that day were left in brutal frigid wintry plains of the reservation before a burial party came to bury them in one #MassGrave. The photograph of #BigFoot’s frozen and contorted body is a symbol for all American Indians of what happened to our ancestors."
