The Native American MovementThe American Indian Movement is
a Native American organization established in the United States.
Due to the diversity in North America, Native American's or
Indians are too often forgotten.
This movement was launched in 1969 in Minneapolis, MN.
Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt,
Eddie Benton Banai, and George
Mitchell started this movement.
Rights wanted:economic independence, revitalization of traditional culture, protection of legal rights, and, most especially, autonomy over tribal areas and the restoration of lands that they believed had been illegally seized
Today’s AIMToday, there are several reservations, and Indians
are eligible to receive government funds to built
homes, schools, and maintain their community.
Abuse and prejudice against the Indians has decreased
and there are also programs in place to help Native
Americans immerse themselves in American
culture.
