The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred in December 1890 during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison. The event took place on December 29, when U.S. Army troops killed hundreds of Lakota Sioux, marking a significant and tragic episode in Native American history. Harrison's administration faced criticism for the government's treatment of Native Americans, which contributed to ongoing tensions between the U.S. government and Indigenous peoples.
