The Heartbeat That Never Stopped
In December 1890, U.S. soldiers opened fire on a group of Lakota at Wounded Knee Creek, killing over 150 men, women, and children. For generations, this massacre has been portrayed as the symbolic end of Native American freedom-the final tragic chapter in a doomed story. But what if that narrative is fundamentally wrong? What if, instead of an ending, Wounded Knee marked a painful transition in a story that continues to unfold? The massacre occurred after the U.S. government violated the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, encouraged settler encroachment, and funded the destruction of buffalo herds at a staggering rate of 5,000 killed daily. When the Ghost Dance religious movement emerged as a response to these desperate conditions, the government's violent suppression culminated in the Wounded Knee tragedy. Yet despite this devastation, Native America didn't vanish-it adapted, resisted, and persisted. This history isn't about extinction but about the remarkable resilience of peoples who refused to disappear, even when America's most powerful institutions were determined to erase them.
