Biden Admin Looks to Rescind 20 Medal of Honor Awards Given to Soldiers in the 1890s Who Are Dead and Can’t Defend Themselves

On December 29, 1890, the 7th U.S. Calvary Regiment arrested members of the Lakota tribe for violating a government ban on a Native American spiritual ritual called “Ghost Dancing.”

 

Once arrested, soldiers held them at a camp near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota.

 

As soldiers attempted to disarm members of the Lakota Tribe, a gun was accidentally discharged, and U.S. soldiers opened fire.

A battle quickly ensued, resulting in more than 250 Lakota tribe members being killed.

Twenty-five U.S. soldiers were also killed in the engagement.

 

Austin wrote in a memo, “I may consider the context of the overall engagement as appropriate, including as necessary to understand each Wounded Knee Creek Medal of Honor recipient’s individual actions.”

 

“It’s never too late to do what’s right.”
