Rebounding from the backlash By Brenda Norrell, Indian Country Today
When the American Indian Movement rose up in cities in the ’60s, AIM made it clear to America that Indians were human beings to be respected. Meanwhile in 1967, after a meeting at Bear Butte in South Dakota, a coalition was formed to create a national Indian religious rights agenda, she said.
AIM sent a signal, a warning to leave American Indians alone when they are carrying out important work. One of those who gave his life was Leroy Shenandoah, Onondaga ironworker in Philadelphia. Innocent of wrongdoing, he was attacked by police officers who beat him, shot him six times and then tried to cover it up. The attorney on the case was William Kunstler who exposed police officers’ total fabrication of the facts.------------------------------------------- posted 5:16 AM :: reference link ::
