In The Wounded knee Massacre occurred on December 29. In 1973, 200 Oglala Lakota Indians took control of the town Wounded Knee in a protest effort to impeach the elected tribal president Richard Wilson. This event gained media and sympathy from the American people. While Wilson stayed in office, many Indians were inspired by the sight of their people standing in defiance of the government which had failed them. While this event happened after One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, this event reminds me of how Mcmurphy stood up to the Nurse and how even though she is still in power, just like Wilson stayed in power; the event of Mcmurphy changed the ward forever.
