DochEvi [55]

Answer: Occupying government buildings

Explanation:

The 1960s and 70s saw a lot of protests as the United States began to wake up to the issue of Civil Rights. One such group that had been discriminated against were the Native Americans. They had been cheated, lied to and stolen from and they had had enough.

Groups like the American Indian Movement (AIM) were formed that aimed to improve the conditions of Native Americans. They occupied Alcatraz and the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington in order to force the government to listen to them and in so doing, drew attention to their plight nationwide.
