Savagery and the American Indian
The second of a two-part programme. Civilisation
Every year the Sioux nation of South Dakota pays homage to more than 300 unarmed
Indians killed by US troops on 29 December 1890.
The massacre at Wounded
Knee has come to represent the military defeat of the Indian nation - the end of the 'Indian problem'.
For the survivors and their descendants, however, it was only the beginning of a deliberate and systematic process to destroy their way of life. One hundred years after those events, witnesses recall the terrible emotional scars caused by the US government's disastrous attempts to Europeanise the American Indian.
