David W. Grua is a historian interested in Native American/​Western history and collective memory. He received a Ph.D in American history from Texas Christian University in 2013. Surviving Wounded Knee: The Lakotas and the Politics of Memory, (Oxford University Press, 2016), examines a much-remembered incident of white-Indian violence during American settlement. During the century and more since the 1890 massacre, the Lakota survivors and their descendants have struggled with non-Natives to define the meaning of the deaths that occurred at Wounded Knee and debating the broader question of historical responsibility and justice before the United States Congress.
