Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Cemetery

Wounded Knee, SD

The cemetery and memorial overlook the site where U.S. troops killed hundreds of Lakota people on December 29, 1890. This is a sacred memorial landscape rather than a conventional attraction; visit quietly, follow local guidance and treat graves and memorial objects with respect.
