WHERE South Dakota
WHEN Early 1900's
PHOTOGRAPHER Edward S. Curtis
"On the bitter cold morning of December 29 1890, at Wounded Knee Creek in Sou
th Dakota, a shot rang out during talks between Col. James Forsyth and the Sio
ux chief Big Foot. . . . Guns and cannon blasted the Indian camp, ripping open
tepees and sending women and children running through the smoke, only to be c
ut down by gunfire. More than 150 Sioux men, women, and children died that mor
ning at Wounded Knee. This 'battle' marked the end of armed resistance by Amer
ican Indians."
—From the National Geographic book Edward S. Curtis: Coming to Light, 2001
