Today was a moving day, visiting the Wounded Knee Museum in Wall, and then going to the site itself. We spent an hour
in the museum reading about the lead up, and reading about so many men, women and children. To then stand and see where they
fired canon at women and children was a humbling and moving experience. The museum prepared us for the massacre, but nothing
could prepare us for standing by the mass grave and talking through the gun positions. This was a crime that must not be forgotten.

| We started the day driving through the Badlands - you can see how the outlaws escaped capture |
|
| After the museum we drove to Wounded Knee and walked up the hill in 100 degree heat |
|
| The mass grave is barely marked but hard to stand beside - you can feel the pain of the murdered. |
