    7th Cavalry defile Lakota Burial Ground @ Wounded Knee, S.Dakota

     

    Today at just past Noon Central Time; Three US Army Helicopters attepted to land on Lakota Sacred Burial grounds at Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

      The Helicopters were from the Seventh Cavalry which were Historically remnants of General  G.A. Custer whose troops were defeated at Little Big Horn in one of the Many battles the United States as they waged a war of attrition and Genocide on Native Americans after the Civil War.

    On Dec 28, 1868 remnants of the Seventh Cavalry Mowed down more than 300 Babies, Children, Women, Old People and Men; at what is now called WoundedKknee. South Dakota and left their Victims bodies unburied and Frozen.

    Theresa TwoBulls was given less than 24 hrs Notice that Three US Army 7th Cav helicopters would Land on the Burial Grounds at Wounded Knee today.

      They were met with Peaceful but Firm resistance, as Lakota ( Sioux) Women and Children stood Immobile on that Sacred Ground, preventing the Gross, Unspeakable Insult of 7th Cav. choppers to Land on the same ground where more than 300 Murder Victims lay Buried.

      A Lakota Mother said.."I cannot believe they are doing this, have they ( 7th Cav) NO Respect for Our Dead " ?

    Evidently the 3 Helicopters & Brass in Charge did not know their history..and what a Unspeakable Insult it was to the Residents of Pine Ridge, Wounded Knee and the Lakota People; to have the ACTUAL Seventh Cavalry Choppers attempt to land on this Sacred Ground.

      This was Broadcast Live on Blogtalkradio, Indigenous People Rights today.

    More to follow as reports come in.
