This is one of the most powerful places I have ever been. This is the truth in history. Take my suggestion and get off the freeway. Wounded Knee Massacre Monument is worth the trip. The reason why I said to bring cash is because the locals operate the site and since it is way off the Wall Drug path not... More

We went to Wounded Knee on march 21, 2012. We had barely arrived and we were already being accosted by a woman asking us to buy something. When we said said no, she asked for a donation. We said no again and then she asked for gas money. Then, within 2 minutes, a guy drove up. He had been parked... More

This historic site is reached via a rutted dirt road that resembles a stream bed. Vehicles park haphazardly on the hillside. The modest-sized cemetery is encased by a chain-link fence that is decorated with brightly colored ribbons and other adornments that move with the wind. The arched entrance is flanked by concrete-block-and-brick columns which are in urgent need of repair... More

It's not a pretty memorial; it's lacks the manicured quality of the sites of other American bloodlettings, like Antietam or Gettysburg.

Anyone that can should travle to this monument. It is great in two ways, it really is a tribute to two "Wounded Knees"; the original one of the 1890's and the second one in the early 1970's. As a population the Native Americans and Lakota Sioux in particular have gone through peculiar time for a race. I have the utmost... More

The mass grave is very humbling to stand by. The grave sites vary from the very young to very old. More

Wounded Knee Creek, the site of the masacre in my opinion, should show the world that it was at the end of the Indian Wars, It troubles me that it isn't at this time. The site is very degradeing to the American Indians pride as we know it. Seems to me it be better taken care of no matter how... More

I went to this site last summer on a mission trip. I volunteered there and work with the children and residents of the pine ridge reservation. We went to the memorial and had natives tell the stories and show us around the site. It was a great experience, I learned the real story of what happened from the native americans... More

For those who have visited and those that will be, remember, this is NOT a National Monument. It should not be considered as such. This is a sacred site of memory to honor those that died. As such, it should be considered a cemetery. It is still used today to bury family members of those that remain because their lands... More
