Spotted Elk's Body, Wounded Knee Massacre, 1890

Body of Spotted Elk after the Massacre at Wounded Knee, photographed by Trager and Kuhn, 1891. Spotted Elk (1826 - December 29, 1890) was a chief of the Miniconjou, Lakota Sioux. He was considered a great man of peace, and was best known among his people for his political and diplomatic successes. During the 1870s, Spotted Elk allied his tribe against the US Army, together with half-brother Sitting Bull, cousin Crazy Horse and brother Touch the Clouds. When Sitting Bull was killed on Standing Rock Reservation, his followers fled for refuge at Spotted Elk's camp. Fearing arrest and government reprisals against his band, Spotted Elk led his band south to the Pine Ridge Reservation, at the invitation of Chief Red Cloud. He contracted pneumonia on the journey, surrendered peacefully and, with his band, was escorted to a campsite near Wounded Knee Creek. On the morning of December 29, 1890, Forsyth's soldiers entered the camp and demanded that the Lakota give up their weapons. A large gun fight quickly ensued and Spotted Elk was among those slain. The US forces killed 153 Lakota, mostly women and children in what became known as the Wounded Knee Massacre.

Spotted Elk's Body, Wounded Knee Massacre, 1890
Untertitel:
Automatische Übersetzung: Körper eines gefleckten Elchs nach dem Massaker bei Wounded Knee, fotografiert von Trager und Kuhn, 1891. Gefleckter Elch (1826 ? 29. Dezember 1890) war ein Häuptling der Miniconjou, Lakota Sioux. Er galt als großer Mann des Friedens und war bei seinem Volk vor allem für seine politischen und diplomatischen Erfolge bekannt. In den 1870er Jahren verbündete Spotted Elk seinen Stamm gegen die US-Armee, zusammen mit seinem Halbbruder Sitting Bull, seinem Cousin Crazy Horse und seinem Bruder Touch the Clouds. Als Sitting Bull im Standing Rock Reservat getötet wurde, flohen seine Anhänger, um im Lager von Spotted Elk Zuflucht zu suchen. Aus Angst vor Verhaftung und Repressalien der Regierung gegen seine Gruppe führte Spotted Elk seine Gruppe auf Einladung von Chief Red Cloud nach Süden in das Pine Ridge Reservat. Unterwegs zog er sich eine Lungenentzündung zu, ergab sich friedlich und wurde mit seiner Bande zu einem Campingplatz in der Nähe von Wounded Knee Creek eskortiert. Am Morgen des 29. Dezember 1890 betraten Forsyths Soldaten das Lager und forderten die Lakota auf, ihre Waffen abzugeben. Es kam schnell zu einer großen Schießerei, bei der auch der Gefleckte Elch getötet wurde. Die US-Streitkräfte töteten 153 Lakota, hauptsächlich Frauen und Kinder, bei dem sogenannten Wounded-Knee-Massaker
