With this image we go to North America. Portrait of a Native American boy. "I still see women and children slaughtered, herded and scattered along the ravine. There the dream of a people died. A wonderful dream." These are the words that the shaman Black Elk delivers to Dee Brown, author of the book-chronicle Bury my heart at Wounded Knee, to distill even after years the massacre of Wounded Knee by the blue jackets, on December 29, 1890, when between 150 and 300 Lakota Sioux were slaughtered who, under the guidance of a sick Hoh-pong-ge-le-skah (Big Foot), they were surrendering to the cavalry of the Seventh Regiment. That was the last episode of a struggle that for decades had seen the "Red Indians" trying to defend their rights and their lands from the advance of the "pale faces".
