bury my heart at wounded knee

Oil on Box Canvas 1000 mm X 800 mm Unframed, Ready to Hang

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, a book by Dee Brown first published in 1970, is a history of Native Americans in the American West in the late nineteenth century, and their displacement and slaughter by the United States.

It was a first book on Native American history from their side.

The American West, 1860 to 1890 - were 30 years of broken promises, disillusionment, wars and massacre. This is a history of Indians as they strive to prevent the encroachment of miners, ranchers, saloon-keepers and soldiers upon their land, their heritage and, finally, their liberty...the original owners of the land were systematically massacred, betrayed and forced onto only those scraps of land that the more numerous and technologically superior conquerors disdained.

This is the definitive account of what really happened to the Native American people at the hands of white settlers who took without asking, and made promises that were mostly broken.

Prior to its publication in 1970, the dominant images of the period were of noble settlers threatened by savage Indians and defended by the 7th Cavalry.

Wounded Knee, South Dakota is where the final battle [or massacre] between american indians and the whites was lost [or won]..
