On Wounded Knee's 135th anniversary, Defense Secretary Hegseth refused to revoke Medals of Honor given to soldiers for the 1890 massacre of hundreds of Lakota people.
On the 135th anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced he would not revoke Medals of Honor awarded to about 20 members of the 7th Cavalry for their roles in the 1890 killings of hundreds of unarmed Lakota men, women, and children.
The massacre, which occurred after the U.S. military surrounded a group led by Chief Big Foot amid fears of the Ghost Dance movement, resulted in widespread deaths and has been widely recognized as a tragic act of violence against Indigenous peoples.
Critics, including Native American leaders and the National Congress of American Indians, argue the medals honor a falsehood and perpetuate injustice, calling for their revocation to correct historical truth.
