Medals of Honor will be kept by 20 U.S. soldiers who slaughtered 250 or more Miniconjou Lakota people by Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota on December 29, 1890, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on September 24. A review of the medals was ordered last year.
On the day of the murders, hundreds of U.S. troops surrounded starving women, children, and elders, and opened fire when they began to perform a Ghost Dance ceremony. Several of the soldiers later wrote or testified that they fired on women and children after the order to cease fire. One said he “expected a court-martial.” Army General Nelson Miles wrote in 1891, “I have never heard of a more brutal, cold-blooded massacre than that at Wounded Knee.”
These Medals of Honor were given to reward war crimes in the conquest of the West.
