On February 27,
1973, members of the American Indian Movement, or AIM, together with
a number of local and traditional Native Americans began their
seventy-two day occupation of Wounded Knee.
Their goal was to protest injustices against their tribes,
violations of the many treaties, and current abuses and repression
against their people. The United States government responded with a
military style assault against the protesters. In the end, various
officials promised hearings on local conditions and treaty
violations. These hearings were never convened. [Peltier
