12. Calls for Truth and Reconciliation
Efforts toward truth and reconciliation continue, led by Native communities and allies. Advocates push for public recognition of the massacre, formal apologies, and changes in how history is taught. Official statements—like the U.S. Congress’s 1990 resolution expressing regret—are steps forward, but elders call for deeper, more meaningful action. Organizations work to preserve testimonies and educate future generations, ensuring the truth of Wounded Knee is finally honored and the path to healing remains open.
