Wound Knee Creek Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery
Wound Knee Creek
Soldiers from Fort Robinson
Pretending friendship
Offered the Sioux lasting peace treaty
If Crazy Horse returned with them.
Trusting the soldiers
Crazy Horse unarmed entered the fort
Gates closed trapping him
Arms held, he was bayoneted in the back.
Parents of Crazy Horse
Took the War Chief's body
Secretly burying the majestic heart
At place called Wounded Knee Creek.
Note: American history records the Indian nations were
finally defeated by soldiers at a place called Wounded
Knee Creek on December 29,1890. But it was a massacre.
The Indians had surrendered and were unarmed prisoners
when soldiers opened fire.300 men, women and children
were Killed - - 4 men, and 47 women and children survived.
American plains, was murdered by soldiers, September 5th,
1877.He was 35 years old.
