What caused the violent events at Wounded Knee in December 1890? Select all that apply.

The Ghost Dance movement led government officials to fear that Native communities were preparing to resist U.S. control. In December 1890, U.S. troops intercepted Big Foot’s band of Sioux as they traveled toward Pine Ridge and tried to disarm them; a gunshot during the disarmament led to the violence. The Sioux were not planning an armed uprising, and a dispute over food supplies was not the cause.
