a photographic history of the American Indian Movement

"The American Indian Movement, founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, burst into that turbulent time with passion, anger, and radical acts of resistance. Spurred by the Civil Rights movement, Native people began to protest the decades--centuries--of corruption, racism, and abuse they had endured, [arguing] for political, social, and cultural change"--Page 4 of cover
