Question

Which Native American group took over a trading post at Wounded Knee, South Dakota for several weeks in 1973?

Answer 1

The correct option is B

American Indian Movement or AIM, a United States civil rights organization founded in 1968, originally created to help indigenous displaced people in cities, through government programs.

With the contemporary explosion of the Black Panthers, and the organizations inspired by it (Boinas Cafés, the Red Guards Party, etc.), they used the structure and mode of action of the former, combining them with traditional elements of the aboriginal struggle.

Over time, he took pains to expand his efforts to support demands for economic independence, autonomy over tribal areas, the restoration of illegally confiscated land, and the protection of the legal rights and traditional culture of indigenous people. Some of their protest activities were involved in violence, being announced to the four winds. Internal disputes and the imprisonment of some of its leaders resulted in the dissolution of its national leadership in 1978, although the local unions have continued with their function.
