- AIM was founded in the late 1960s by activists.
- Who were the AIM participants?
- The American Indian Movement was started by indigenous Indians in the United States
- Now, lets change gears to the AIM goals
- It was to fight social injustices including police brutalities, lack of occupation and colonialism
- Also, AIM aimedtowards ensuring the native Indians enjoyed the rights and privileges of being in the country.
- For instance, most bureaucrats and lawmakers failed to acknowledge that the native Indians were true members of the society.
- Generally, they were not enjoying the federal resources, but instead relied on the power of their fragmented groups.
- Contrarily, they isolated them in masses of cities, or let the tribes remain constrained at reservations
- AIM used religion as the basis of forming its principles and goals while striving to get recognition and assume leadership positions.
- For instance, the native Indians had formed the Ghost Dance religion which gave the populations the conviction of their worth and helped them express their heritage.
- The group functioned as the top organization in the hierarchy of the natives, and it focused on religious affairs.
- Generally, the group relied on religious guidance, and based their goals and principles on the religion.
