| Description: |
| Recounts the life of Dennis Banks, the Native American who cofounded the American Indian Movement (AIM) to advocate and protect the rights of American Indians. Provides an in depth look at the history and issues surrounding AIM's formation. From the forced assimilation of Native Americans within boarding schools, to discrimination by law enforcement, to neglect by officials responsible for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, AIM sought redress for the grievances its people harbored. Banks' struggle culminated in confrontations at Custer, South Dakota and Wounded Knee. |
