Natives Americans were abused on the Massacre of Wounded Knee. They were treated were harmfully. Before war started, people were moved into different regions. The land was big but where they had to live was little for them. When they had their own land they had their own leaders,but when Sitting Bull moved to the region there were no more leaders.
When war started, alot of people were wounded. Womens, many soldiers, even childrens were wounded. White mens made over 600 hundred treaties and they broke each and every treaty they made. White men also destroyed the culture of Native American people. If children were caught speaking their Native American language they were beaten up.
When war ended there were alot of people killed. !50 Indians were killed. Womens and childrens were killed very harmfully. Soldiers killed more than 200 unarmed Sioux. Sioux being transported refused to give up his rifle, but those 25 soldiers were most likely killed by friendly fire.
People were forced to give up their weapons. During war hey also got killed and wounded because they gave up their weapons. If they were not forced to give up their weapons then there was going to be less dead people.
In conclusion, alot of Native Americans were abused. There were people wounded. The whites killed alot of people and innocent people. It wasn't fair to kill them because they could live the way they wanted to live. Also since they were forced to give up their weapns they didn't have nothing to defend with and that's why there was a big massacre at Wounded Knee.
