The best known of all Indian Power groups is the American Indian Movement, commonly known by it's initials. AIM was formed in 1968 by two Chippewas, Dennis Banks and George Mitchell, to combat poverty and unemployment and protest police brutality. In the fall of 1972, AIM gained national visibility when it led urban Indians and traditionalists along the "Trail of Broken Treaties" to Washington, D.C., seized the offices of the Bureau of Indians Affairs, and occupied them for a week to dramatize Indian grievances. In the spring of 1973, 200 Indians occupied the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, site of an 1890 massacre of 300 Sioux by the army cavalry, and occupied the town for seventy-one days to dramatize the injustices Indians suffered. They demanded the return of lands taken from Indians in violation of treaty agreements. These militant protests have paid off.The 1972 Indian Education Act gave Indian parents greater control over their children's schools. To address deficiencies in Indian health care, Congress passed the Indian Health Care Improvement Act in 1976, while the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act gave tribes control over custody decisions involving Indian children. A 1978 congressional resolution on American Indian Religious Freedom directed federal agencies to respect traditional Indian religions. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 protects Native American craftsmen and women from the flood of counterfeit Native American arts & crafts passed off as authentic Indian arts.
