Bury_My_Heart_At_Wounded_Knee

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee, written by Dee Alexander Brown, is a great novel that shows the attempted genocide of Indian nations. Many of the young Indian children were stolen and forced into slavery. Most of the children died along their journey. At the battle of Wounded Knee almost four-fifths of Native lands were taken and most of the native people slaughtered or thrown into slavery. Natives that were put in to slavery were counted everyday to make sure no one had escaped or rebelled. If this were to occur the Natives would be savagely beaten. During the bloody battles and harsh time periods the savage atrocities were blamed on the Indians, when in truth it was the white man that was causing and doing all of these brutal things. A white man paid up to twenty-five dollars for an Indians scalp. They hung and honor the scalps as trophies. The whites were also responsible for the first mutilation of corpses. The Natives soon followed for interrogation purposes.
