Description

A conceptual take on the "Wounded Knee Massacre" which happened on December 29th, 1890. It was a terrible and tragic event, in which hundreds of American Indians were slaughtered for no reason at all. you can read more about it [link] there if you wish!

This was done for the upcoming department show my college has, and as a senior i am required to participate :( The buffalo represent the U.S. army, taken from the nickname some soldiers received, aptly named "buffalo soldiers". The wolves/coyotes/foxes/canines of course, represent the American Indians.

enjoy!

After the Massacre the wounded survivors were carried into the church on the reservation that functioned as a makeshift hospital. Because it was four days after Christmas all the decorations were still up and hung over the pulpit was a banner that read "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN"
