1973 Seige at Wounded Knee

http://siouxme.com/siege.html - This is an interesting article telling the story of the 2nd battle of wounded knee starting in 1968 during AIM (American Indian Movement) and tells the story through the battle. In the end, the Native Americans lose the 2nd battle and the soldiers stood off against held their demands and got the things they want from the Native Americans.

Yeah, for my project I found this book called Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, written by Dee Brown, which is a history novel that begins with the arrival of Columbus and ends with the massacre. It was also made into a movie.
