Chief Big Foot was told by the US Army to move to the area by Wounded Knee river. The US army surrounded them and told the tribe to give up their guns and weapons. When one US soldier went into a tent, he saw a soldier with a gun. Seeing this, the soldier tried to take the gun away from the man. But the soldier did not realize that the man was DEAF! Therefore, he did not know he was supposed to give up his gun. While they were struggling, the gun ally shot. Hearing this, the army shot open fire on the tribe, many.
