Why was Wounded Knee, South Dakota, a significant place for American Indians?

Wounded Knee is significant because U.S. troops killed hundreds of Lakota Sioux there in 1890, in what is known as the Wounded Knee Massacre. The correct choice is “It was the site of a massacre of Lakota Sioux by US troops in 1890.” The American Indian Movement occupation of Wounded Knee occurred later, in 1973, not during the 1960s.
