Dear Friends,
Wanbli, the promoter of ths site, left us for the reason that we are not willing to follow his orders in blind obedience. He has launched a new site to support his petition to rescind the Medals of "Honor".
Anyway, we will keep this site alive and we will keep on supporting Wanblis petition to rescind those medals. It's the cause we have been working for, not the man. We want those medals to be rescinded as an act of justice for the people and not for our own benefit or credit.
The purpose of this site is to demand that the medals of "Dis Honor" awarded to members of the 7th Cavalry Of the Army of the United States of AmeriKa for the murders of innocent women , children and men on Dec.29, 1890. be Rescinded. And that the Wounded Knee Pennant be removed from the official flag of the Army of the United States of Amerika.That a public announcement of the recension be made and an apology issued to the Oceti Sakon ( Sioux) people for the genocidal actions of that day. That the government of the United States of AmeriKa come forward and admit to its policy of genocide against the American Indian.
Please sign the Petition here: Rescind the Wounded Knee Medals of Honor Petition

American Horse, Oglala Sioux and others described the carnage:
"There was a woman with an infant in her arms who killed as she almost touched the flag of truce... A mother was shot down with her infant; the child not knowing that its mother was dead was still nursing... The woman as they were fleeing with their babies were killed together, shot right through... and after most all of them had been killed a cry was made that all those who were not killed or wounded should come forth and they would be safe. Little boys...came out of their places of refuge, and as soon as they came in sight a number of soldiers surrounded them and butchered them there."
