The Wounded Knee takeover of 1973 was a significant protest led by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) at the site of the 1890 massacre in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Activists occupied the town for 71 days to draw attention to issues such as treaty rights, poverty, and systemic injustices faced by Native Americans. The standoff between AIM members and federal authorities resulted in armed conflict, media coverage, and ultimately brought national attention to Native American rights and sovereignty issues. The event is considered a pivotal moment in the Native American Civil Rights Movement.
