February 27, 1973, dibadbaxayaasha Oglala ee maxalliga ah iyo dhaqdhaqaaqayaasha AIM waxay la wareegeen tuulada Wounded Knee, South Dakota, banaanbax hubaysan
dadaalkoodii fashilmay ee ahaa in Wilson xilka laga tuuro. Dagaalkii 71-ka maalmood socday ee ciidamada sharci fulinta ayaa bilaabmay, ugu dambeyntiina ciidamada federaalka ayaa loo diray booska, maadaama fulinta sharciga federaalka ay awood u leedahay inta badan arrimaha dambiyada. Intii lagu guda jiray dagaalka, ciidamada booliska ayaa rasaas la is weydaarsaday ciidamada gumaysiga. Kooxaha argagaxisada ayaa sidoo kale sameeyay goobo ay iskood u xakameeyaan. FBI-da waxay kaloo si dhow ula shaqaynayeen una taageereen gudoomiyaha beesha maxaliga ah, iyo ciidankiisa. Mr. Wilson waxa uu caan ku ahaa musuqmaasuq iyo ku takri fal awoodeed oo uu ku qaatay goobaha gaarka loo leeyahay.
