The American Indian Movement, founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, burst
into that turbulent time with passion, anger, and radical acts of
resistance. Spurred by Civil Rights movement, Native people began
to protest the decades -- centuries -- of corruption, racism, and
abuse they had endured. They argued for political, social and
cultural change, and they got attention. The photographs of
activist Dick Bancroft, a key documentarian of AIM, provide a
stunningly intimate view of this major piece of American history
from 1970 to 1981. Veteran journalist Laura Waterman wittstock, who
participated in events in Washington, DC, has interviewed a host of
surviving participants to tell the stories behind the images. The
words of Russell Means, Dennis Banks, Clyde Bellecourt, Eddie
Benton Banai, Pat Bellanger, Elaine Salinas, Winona LaDuke, Bill
Means, Ken Tilsen, Larry Leventhal, Jose Barreiro, and others tell
the stories: the take-overs of federal buildings and the Winter Dam
in Wisconsin, the founding of survival schools in the Twin Cities,
the Wounded Knee trails, international conferences for indigenous
rights, the Trial of Broken Treaties Caravan and the Longest Walk
for Survival, powwows and camps and United Nations actions. This is
the inside record of a movement that began to change a nation.
