- www.mnhs.org/historycenter/act... AIM-the American Indian Movement-began in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on July 28, 1968. It began taking form when 200 people from the Indian community turned out for a meeting called by a group of Native American community activists led by George Mitchell, Dennis Banks, and Clyde Bellecourt. Learn from one of the co-founders, Clyde Bellecourt, about the movement and its growth over the past 50 years.
Much of the still photography in this piece was taken by Dick Bancroft, author of "We Are Still Here: A Photographic History of the American Indian Movement." Bancroft recently passed away at the age of 90. He was a longtime chronicler of the Indigenous plight and esteemed MNHS Press published author. The remaining images are courtesy of the American Indian Movement Interpretive Center.

I didn't know Natives had a movement around this time. I'm Afro-American and I never knew how similar this movement had to struggles of the Black panthers and civil rights movement with police brutality. I hope in time my Native Brothas get the full support and respect that they deserve.
68-69 was one of the craziest times in america, you also had the chicano movement, the young lords, the weathermen, etc...back in the day when the people manifested in the streets.
yes my Afro-American brother, like U guys have the Panthers, and the Puerto Rians have the Young Lords,,,,we Native Americans have our own revolutionary moment, we have AIM!
@@chidoboy6837 the young lords were New Yoricans(Puerto Ricans of New York, I believe)
I'm mostly white. But an eighth wallowa NEZ Perce!! When I throw hands it's not the white guy you're getting dropped by!! ITS THAT FEW DROPS OF NATIVE BLOOD!!!
We aren't getting the support like we should, some wanna take the Coulter from us
RIP i will always be greatful in getting to hear you words of wisdom
My mom and grandma both worked at Heart of the Earth back in the day before it got shut down. Actually lived right next door over the fence and would go to class through a hole in the fence and help my grandma open the place up
Tears......
As an African American I would love to support and exlore more...

What part of Africa are you from?
Another African American man got involved with the American Indian movement and they murdered him in 1973 during the standoff on Pine Ridge Wounded knee. His name is Perry Ray Robinson Jr and he still buried there. The FBI knew what happened to him and covered it up for 40 years

Thanks
Clyde went to George Floyd memorial and was introduced by Al Sharpton and honored to be in attendance. Thanks Clyde
Sad I missed that. I was able to catch some of the speeches there, didn't realize AIM was present.
Floyd KILLED HIMSELF
Look up Perry Ray Robinson, a black civil rights worker murdered by AIM inside of Wounded Knee 1973. A cover-up that Clyde and the cowards of AIM deny, but they had some help with this. Guess who?

We Indians are always with Native Americans. We were lucky enough to get independence from colonizers i.e., Europeans. But it was not the case with indigenous people of North, Central and South America.
They were butchered, they were converted into Christians, their population was decreased deliberately so that Europeans can become a majority. As and when they became majority indigenous people disappeared and were pushed into poverty, drugs so that they never become aware about their culture and rights. It's time for them to take the issue to the UN.
It's very important for Native Americans to increase their population rapidly and make every native aware about their history, only then world is going to listen to them.
Natives need to protest massively throughout America for their civil rights.
Even the prime leader, i.e., President in USA and Canada should a native American.
Slavery history washed.
