This book looks at the emergence of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and the opposition to it. From the meeting in Minnesota's Still-water Penitentiary of the Bellecourt brothers, Dennis Banks, and other Indian prisoners, came AIM: in 1968, a patrol monitoring police harassment in Minneapolis' Indian ghetto; by 1972, a nationwide political and spiritual movement calling Native Americans to their land and sacred traditions, and calling white Americans...

In this essential contribution to twentieth-century Native history, Kenneth R. Philp reassesses the controversial and ultimately failed federal policy of termination. In the years after World War II, federal policy toward the Indian reservation system changed markedly. Federal policies set during this period strongly encouraged Native peoples to terminate their status as wards of the American government, relocate to prosperous cities, and develop...

It's the mid-1960's, and everyone is fighting back. Black Americans are fighting for civil rights, the counterculture is trying to subvert the Vietnam War, and women are fighting for their liberation. Indians were fighting, too, though it's a fight too few have documented, and even fewer remember. At the time, newspapers and television broadcasts were filled with images of Indian activists staging dramatic events such as the seizure of Alcatraz in...

"In his new preface to this paperback edition, the author observes, 'The Indian world has changed so substantially since the first publication of this book that some things contained in it seem new again.' Indeed, it seems that each generation of whites and Indians will have to read and reread Vine Deloria, Jr.'s manifesto for some time to come, before we absorb his special, ironic Indian point of view and comprehend what he tells us - with a great...

Description
The American Indian Movement, founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, burst into that turbulent time with passion, anger, and radical acts of resistance. Spurred by the Civil Rights movement, Native people began to protest the decades -- centuries -- of corruption, racism, and abuse they had endured, arguing for political, social, and cultural change. The photographs of activist Dick Bancroft, a key documentarian of AIM, provide an intimate view of this major...
