In an attempt to bring attention to the injustice, and to provide better
protection and care for the Indians, the American Indian Movement was

Minneapolis, MN. Years ago, Indians received a lot of abuse from law enforcement
officers, and crimes against Native Americans were often unreported.
Disciplinary actions were rare, and many Indians and non-Indians felt compelled
to campaign for changes.
