American Indian Movement (AIM) protest leaflets [Three].

Wounded Knee, South Dakota: American Indian Movement, 1973. Printed to support the Wounded Knee Occupation of 1973. “No More Broken Treaties” design notably used elsewhere in AIM graphics for the Occupation, though the other two designs are less common. AIM—the American Indian Movement—began in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the summer of 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. Frustrated by discrimination and decades of federal Indian policy, they came together to discuss the critical issues restraining them and to take control over their own destiny. The American Indian Movement is the most visible activist group of the Red Power movement beginning in late 1960s and into the 1970s. The charismatic leaders of AIM promote direct-action protests to draw attention to the problems in Indian country, particularly the numerous treaty violations for which they SEEK restitution. Very Good+. Light wear, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Quarter page, 4.5x5.5" Illus. (b/w). Item #13986
