The band set up camp at Wounded Knee. The soldiers arrived with their guns. They surrounded Big Foot and his people as if they were criminals, in fact, especially where there were old men, women and small children. Big Foot does not want to fight. He was already suffering from pneumonia. It was peaceful.

The soldiers line up the Indians in the cold and withdrew all their weapons. One of the last men in the queue, Yellow Bird, bullied by a soldier raised his rifle and fired point-blank in the head of the American. Those who managed to escape told all this to our people.

The soldiers stationed at the top of the hill then opened fire and spared no one. The Indians collapsed to the ground and soldiers mowed two dozen of them, The warriors tried to defend their people. They fought with all their energy but they had no chance. The soldiers massacred them, then massacred the old men, women and children.
