GRAND FORKS Last week’s activities remembering the destruction of Greenwood, the black neighborhood in Tulsa, Okla., known as “Black Wall Street,” which occurred 100 years ago, should call to mind examples of what have been called “massacres” in our own region.
The most notorious of these occurred at Wounded Knee, S.D., on Dec. 30, 1890. U.S. troops attacked a band of refugees fleeing from the Standing Rock nation, which extends into North Dakota, after the killing of Sitting Bull on the Grand River, just inside the one-year-old state of South Dakota.

Opening the door to the renovated Hooker Hut in the Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park on Thursday are, from left, David Dittmer, DOC senior ranger recreation, Mike Slater, DOC deputy director general operations, Recreation Construction staff Josh Soper and Fergus Watt, Brad Williamson, DOC engineer, Ray Bellringer, DOC ranger community, and Sally Jones, DOC Aoraki/Mt Cook operations manager. The hut was officially reopened on Thursday, its restoration delayed by Covid-19 and weather. Department of Conservation senior ranger in charge of search and rescue and recreation at Aoraki Mt Cook David Dittmer said the managers at the time knew if they had left the hut in the park, ‘’it would go over the side and would be completely wrecked”.
