AIM leaders, traditional Oglala leaders, and dissident Oglalas took on the U.S. government to address longstanding grievances related to treaty violations, systemic poverty, and inadequate governance on reservations. They sought to reclaim sovereignty, protect their cultural identity, and challenge the oppressive conditions faced by Native American communities. This resistance culminated in significant events like the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation, which highlighted their struggle for rights and recognition. Ultimately, they aimed to assert their rights and demand justice for historical injustices inflicted upon their people.

The Wounded Knee Massacre in 1890 marked a significant turning point in relations between Native Americans and the U.S. government as it symbolized the violent suppression of Native American resistance to federal policies. The brutal killing of hundreds of Lakota Sioux, including women and children, highlighted the government's willingness to use extreme measures to enforce control. This event galvanized public awareness and criticism of U.S. policies toward Native Americans, leading to a shift in advocacy for Native rights and eventually influencing future reforms. It remains a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States.
