Estimated 250 Native Americans killed in 1890 Wounded Knee massacre in South Dakota
Lawmakers in the House of Representatives have made a move to posthumously rescind Medals of Honor awarded to U.S. soldiers who participated in the infamous 1890 Wounded Knee massacre, where an estimated 250 Native Americans — mostly women and children — were killed.
Legislation to take back the medals — the nation’s highest award for valor — was passed last week as an amendment to the fiscal 2023 defense policy bill, Army Times reported.
