Wounded Knee 1One wintry night in 1890, about four hundred Native Americans set up camp near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. 2When they awoke the next morning, they found themselves surrounded by U.S. soldiers. 3On the hilltop above were numerous machine guns. 4When the soldiers ordered the Native Americans to hand over any weapons they might have, they refused. 5The soldiers began searching for weapons. 6Then someone fired a shot. 7Immediately, the machine guns started blasting—slaughtering Native American men, women, and children. 8Within a short time, all were killed. 9Several days later, the frozen bodies were tossed into a common grave. 10Instead of condemning the soldiers, the government awarded the troop twenty-six Medals of Honor and labeled the event a “battle.” 11It was the last fought against the Native Americans, and so ending the American Indian wars.

Furthermore, pigs are basically no dirtier than any other farm animal. Because pigs don’t sweat, they seek out water in order to cool off. On a farm, the water that a pig finds is usually in a mud puddle. However, the pig would be just as happy splashing in a bathtub since it is water, not dirt that pigs enjoy.
