Explanation

The 1890 conflict at Wounded Knee was a massacre of Lakota Sioux by U.S. troops and is generally considered the final major battle of the American Indian Wars. It did not begin the Ghost Dance movement, which had already spread among Native communities, nor did it end the reservation system. The correct choice is “the final battle in the American Indian Wars.”
