The American Indian Movement (AIM) played a significant role during the Wounded Knee incident in 1973, which involved a standoff between AIM activists and federal authorities at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. AIM sought to draw attention to issues of tribal sovereignty, treaty rights, and systemic injustices faced by Native American communities. The 71-day occupation aimed to highlight the plight of Native Americans and demand changes from the U.S. government, ultimately bringing national attention to their struggles. The confrontation ended with a negotiated settlement, but it marked a pivotal moment in the Native American Civil Rights Movement.

there was the wounded knee massacre in 1890 or the seige at wounded knee whichis where Combined activists of AIM and hundreds of Sioux took over Wounded Knee in an occupation that lasted 71 days. Wounded Knee is located on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota and is very significant because of the 1890 massacre that happened there. There was a lot of tension on the reservation and a lot of problems such as Alcoholism, unemployment, suicides and murders, and the corruption of the Bureau of Indians Affairs and the tribal council. The U.S. military and government surrounded Wounded Knee the same day.
