The Siege at Wounded Knee
"We Shall Remain"


"By the 1970s, Native people, once masters of the continent, had become invisible,
consigned to the margins of American life. Their anger and frustration would explode in Wounded
Knee."


“I was ready to do whatever it takes for change. I didn’t care. I had children, and for them I figured I could make a stand here.”
— Madonna Thunder Hawk (Two Kettle Lakota)
