In July 28, 1968, a revolutionary American Indian Movement was founded that struggled for the rights and dignity of Native Americans, often known as American Indians. It was a response to the community’s severe institutional and cultural oppression. To eradicate the native community’s culture and identity, along with atrocities, there were several treaty violations, forced relocation from native land, and the implementation of hazardous laws.
The primary priorities of the movement were defending land rights, restoring sovereignty, and ensuring the continuation and prosperity along with the pervasive marginalization and disenfranchisement, as well as their frequent experiences with poverty, poor healthcare, and education. The social and economic underpinnings of native societies were undermined by the loss of ancestral lands and the extraction of natural resources from those regions.
