The End of the Indian Wars?

I had already known the events that took place in the Wounded Knee massacre, but watching the Wounded Knee film made my thoughts stir again and become quite angry. According to the US, the event that took place that day was labeled as the "End of the Indian Wars". yet i think its interesting to see that whoever came up with that title was inhumane enough to even call it that. The people that died that day were not warriors and fighters, but elders, women, and children, who did not deserve to die in cold blood. Although this massacre was nothing more than an act of cowardness, the US still named it as a war. One of the things that bothers me the most, is knowing that children will grow up reading US History books, and will never know the truth of events such as this one until much later in life; and even then, the majority won't. Some because they might not have the resources to know about it, and some because they simply dont care about the past. The thing is, although events happen in the past and people expect others to simply "forget" about them or "move on", these have a greater effect in peoples lives and are handede down from generation to generation, creating a never ending struggle. Wounded Knee is now a historical event that if someone was to visit and not know the history, they would never even guess about the attrocity that took place there. In my opinion, this truly shows who the real "savages" were. It is amazing to see what people are capable of doing to others when they are blinded by pure ignorance.
