Sundance, Executive Director of the Cleveland American Indian Movement (AIM), will be presenting on initiatives that have supported the rights of Native Americans historically and in the present day.
Sundance, Executive Director of the Cleveland American Indian Movement (AIM), presents a program about the AIM initiatives that have supported the rights of Native Americans historically and in the present day.
The American Indian Movement is a reaction to the numerous U.S. government programs directed at American Indians designed to socially deconstruct Native communities, sovereignty, and spirituality.
Out of American Indian ghettos came men and women, mostly ex-convicts, who committed to take a stand. The tumultuous events that followed have re-written the indigenous history of the United States. As with many liberation organizations, AIM has had its splinters and fractures. From Alcatraz to Wounded Knee, to the Longest Walk, and beyond.
Come to the library to learn more about the American Indian Movement and the impacts is has had in our country.
