==History== On December 29, 1890, in the same area, in an incident known as the [[Wounded Knee Massacre]], the United States [[U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment|7th Cavalry]] killed more than 300 men, women and children who were being relocated to the Sioux reservation at Pine Ridge. On February 27, 1973, during the [[Wounded Knee Occupation]], the [[American Indian Movement]] (AIM) occupied the [[Pine Ridge Reservation]] near Wounded Knee in protest against the federal government and its policies related to Native Americans. A 71-day standoff between federal authorities and the AIM ensued. The group members surrendered on May 8.
