## Resource

The Defense Department’s decision to keep Medals of Honor awarded to soldiers at the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre has reignited outrage among descendants, who see it as a painful betrayal of justice. Despite past failed congressional efforts, they remain undeterred, demanding recognition for the massacre — not a battle — and calling for a broader, more scholarly review of future medal decisions. Critics argue the panel’s focus on individual heroism ignored the atrocity’s scale, while descendants vow to keep fighting for healing and truth.
