The Native American Rights during the1960s
During World War II, around 4400 Native Americans served. This led them to want more rights in American society. So they started the American Indian movement and activist organization in the U.S.. The area believed that the government was not taking care of Indian affairs. They decided they needed to take a more aggressive approach to be rightfully treated. Using the media, public sentiment, and it all American message, they promised stunts if they got coverage over events resulting in publicity. The area was cofounded by Dennis Banks, George Mitchell, her palace, Clyde Benton court, Eddie bin, and Russell made.
On Thanksgiving 1970, the Mayflower was seized during ceremonies commemorating the 350th anniversary of the pilgrims landing at Plymouth rock. They occupied Mount Rushmore in 1971. The trail of broken treaties was a march to overthrow the bureau of Indian affairs in Washington D.C. during 1972. They occupied the site of the battle of wounded knee on the pine ridge reservation during 1973. July 15th, 1978, the longest walk a 3600 mile walk to gather aid in support for stopping proposed legislation and abolishing Native American treaties with the U.S. government. This defeated the treaties and stopped the passing of the American Indian religious freedom act. Living for today. After many centuries of mistreatment, Native Americans have finally reached equal standing in U.S. society. I know religion do send.
