Answer:

On February 28, 1973, AIM leaders Russell Means (Oglala Sioux) and Carter Camp (Ponca), together with 200 activists and Oglala Lakota (Oglala Sioux) of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, including children and the elderly, who opposed Oglala tribal chairman Richard Wilson, occupied the town of Wounded Knee in protest.

The purpose of the wounded knee is to protest for what they are fighting for.
