Founded in 1968 by Dennis Banks, Eddie Benton BanaiClyde Bellecourt, & George Mitchell in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the American Indian Movement (AIM) is a revolutionary American Indian civil rights organization. Later, Russell Means rose to prominence as the group's spokesperson.

• Its objectives gradually covered the full range of Indian demands, including economic independence, the revival of traditional culture, the preservation of legal protections, and, most importantly, the restitution of lands they claimed had been wrongfully taken.
• The leadership collapsed in 1978, but local units continued to operate despite the fact that many of its members were imprisoned and split apart by internal strife.
• Beginning in 1981, an AIM group held a portion of a Black Hills in South Dakota to further their demands for the area's return to Indian control.
