| In December 1890 troops under the command of U.S. Army General Nelson A. Miles took a band of captive Sioux to a cavalry camp along Wounded Knee Creek. When the soldiers attempted to disarm the band, shots were fired, and within a short time the federal troops had killed between 150 and 370 Sioux men, women, and children. | ||||||
