Hatter Gone Mad+FollowHistory is not always comfortable — but it must be remembered. In 1890, one of the darkest chapters in American history unfolded: the Wounded Knee Massacre. Hundreds of Lakota Native Americans — many of them women and children — were surrounded by U.S. cavalry during a forced disarmament. What was supposed to be a peaceful process turned into chaos and then mass killing. More than 290 unarmed Native people lost their lives. Families were torn apart. Children and elders were caught in the violence. This was not a battlefield — it was a community. This image is not about comparison for shock value. It is about memory, truth, and accountability. Too often, Indigenous history is reduced to footnotes or erased entirely. When we forget events like Wounded Knee, we repeat the same mistakes — silence becomes permission, and ignorance becomes comfort. Remembering history does not mean hating a nation. It means respecting the lives that were taken and learning from the past so it is never repeated. Truth matters. Memory matters. History matters. Let that sink in. 🔥 #TrueHistory #WoundedKnee #IndigenousHistory #fbrepost 17912Share
