Wounded Knee is renowned in American history as the last major conflict of the American Indian wars (1890) and an important benchmark in the westward expansion of the American frontier.  Sadly, it was also the site of a deliberate massacre of some 300 Lakota Sioux men, women and children.  Dylan Graham focuses not on the heroism of the 7th Calvary, which defeated the Indians, nor on the battle itself, but on the daily lives of those who lived in the Indian settlement.  His cut paper medium and realistic imagery combine to make a subtle and poignant statement about US injustice against its indigenous peoples.
