   These pictures tell a story about our people’s history. The photo collection presented here tells about the events that led up to the Wounded Knee Massacre and the aftermath.

The government cut the people’s rations and attempted to starve them. There are photos showing the people lined up for food, a village of tipis, the Ghost Dance, the Wounded Knee Massacre, the troops after Wounded Knee with their expressions of strength and dominance over the Indians and the doctor who cared for the few survivors, including one of a young woman who was only skin and bones.
