Wounded Knee Essay

Wounded knee illustrates one of the final events in a long series of violent conflicts motivatedby racism, disrepect and lack of understanding. Trip to monument is a video that shows you where it all took place at. Documentary is a video that talks about what happened on that fateful day at the battle of wounded knee. The online essay of Wounded Knee tell you of some causes for the battle and this helps to know how it started. All of these three things together give you a better understanding of the battle itself.

Alot of the reason for the battle were due to racism, disrepect and lack of understand. In the video "trip to the monument" there is a scene in witch there is a bag full of dog crap, which i think shows disrepect to what happened there. The documentary taught you about the racism that the native american had to live through.In the essay about wounded knee it talks about the reasons for the battle. I think a big factor for this was the 7th cavarly felt disrepected, which I think caused the violence.These details are important because they help you think of a underlined statement about the Wounded Knee battle.

The motives for this battle were racism, disrepect and lack of understanding. A lesson I've learned from this thesis is that racism will lead to a conflict. Also I've learned that dispect is a leading cause for violence.D. Lastly, I've learned that a lack of understanding is dangerous. This thesis teaches people ignorant of the battles the dangers that racism, disrepect and a lack of understanding can lead to.
