Tribes involved in the wounded knee battle?

The Wounded Knee battle in December 1890 primarily involved the Lakota Sioux tribe, particularly members of the Minneconjou and Oglala bands. The U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry confronted the Lakota during a tense standoff over the Ghost Dance movement and its implications. The confrontation escalated into violence, resulting in the deaths of numerous Lakota men, women, and children, marking a tragic chapter in Native American history. This event symbolized the broader struggles of Indigenous peoples against U.S. government policies.
