国防部长赫格塞特(Hegseth)拒绝撤销为1890年屠杀数以百计的Lakota人而授予士兵的荣誉勋章。 On Wounded Knee's 135th anniversary, Defense Secretary Hegseth refused to revoke Medals of Honor given to soldiers for the 1890 massacre of hundreds of Lakota people.

美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞特(Peter Hegseth)宣布他不会撤销第7骑兵团大约20名成员因1890年杀害数百名手无寸铁的拉科塔男子、妇女和儿童而获得的荣誉勋章。 On the 135th anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced he would not revoke Medals of Honor awarded to about 20 members of the 7th Cavalry for their roles in the 1890 killings of hundreds of unarmed Lakota men, women, and children. 这场屠杀发生在美国军方包围大脚酋长领导的一群人之后,他们害怕幽灵舞蹈运动,造成大量死亡,并被公认为是针对土著人民的悲惨暴力行为。 The massacre, which occurred after the U.S. military surrounded a group led by Chief Big Foot amid fears of the Ghost Dance movement, resulted in widespread deaths and has been widely recognized as a tragic act of violence against Indigenous peoples. 批评者,包括美洲土著领导人和美国印第安人全国代表大会,认为奖牌是虚假的,使不公正永久化,要求撤销这些奖章以纠正历史真相。 Critics, including Native American leaders and the National Congress of American Indians, argue the medals honor a falsehood and perpetuate injustice, calling for their revocation to correct historical truth.
