The majority of the land rights where their history and cultural traditions might be protected were acquired by the American Indian Association. The national farm workers group successfully defended their rights in the fight against industrialists who illegally appropriated their land, and they were able to maintain an important part of their agricultural way of life.

What was the impact and achievements of the American Indian association?

Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt, Eddie Benton Banai, and George Mitchell created the American Indian Movement (AIM), a militant movement for American Indian civil rights, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1968.
Russell Means rose to prominence as the organization's spokesperson later.
The organization's primary goal was to assist Indians who had been ejected from reservations and were now living in urban slums as a result of government initiatives.
Ultimately, its objectives included the full range of Indian demands, including autonomy over tribal areas and the restoration of lands they believed had been wrongfully taken.
Other objectives included the protection of legal rights, the revival of traditional culture, and economic independence.
