Turner’s “frontier thesis” announced a new beginning to the “Great American” era; there was no more “war” between the U.S. and the West Indian tribes, as they are all part of the United States now, and we are in a new chapter of the book. Turner’s speech gave the American government a perfect opportunity to overlook the tragedies and horrors they have inflicted upon Indigenous people. The Wounded Knee Massacre happened in the same year in 1890 as Turner’s speech about the end of the “frontier.” Although the American government really tried to cover this by spreading rumors and excuses to justify the Massacre, many people started to question the treatment of Indigenous people. Around 300 Lakota men, women, and children were brutally killed that night, and none of them were armed. When the story of who fired the first shot and who attacked first wasn’t clear, American newspapers and the government claimed that it was the Lakota people who fired the first shot, framing it as an act of war. The report from the council held by Indian Affairs in 1891 stated, “SPOTTED HORSE. This man shot an officer in the Army; the first shot killed this officer. I was a voluntary scout at that encounter and I saw exactly what was done and that was what I noticed; that the first shot killed an officer,” and that was it, without any evidence or proper hearing for the Lakota people. This represented the end of the story of the Massacre, the story of Indigenous people, and the history of the American government plundering Indigenous lands. Americans are now thrilled to enter into a new chapter that is thriving, but it is only for them. After years of fighting and protesting against the government, the Lakota people were finally given recognition and acknowledgment of the massacre that happened in 1890, but they have not received any compensation from the government. As the U.S. government continues to deny the many wrongs they committed, it is important for us to learn and correct these wrongs and rewrite the truth about this country, especially when we are still facing historical issues today such as giving the land back to the Indigenous people, the aftermath of the Dawes Act. We are not only here to learn about the past but also to understand what we could and should do in the present.
