The American Indian Movement (AIM) staged the occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973 to draw attention to the ongoing issues of Native American rights, such as treaty violations, poverty, and systemic discrimination. The site was historically significant, being the location of a massacre in 1890, which added symbolic weight to their protest. The occupation aimed to highlight grievances against the U.S. government and the Pine Ridge Reservation's tribal leadership, demanding accountability and reform. This event garnered national media attention and increased awareness of Native American struggles.
