A dark day in South Dakota history happened on December 29, 1890 know as Wounded Knee.

There are dark days in history. Usually they dawn without a hint of being anything but ordinay, yet end with everybody knowing the events will not be forgotten. Sadness and anger, in fact, can remain even after those who actually lived the dark day are gone. Historians can help by examining what led to the tragedy, and why those events hold so much meaning afterwards.
