Ghost Dance War




In an effort to remind the nation of this incident, and the historic government program against Native Americans, the American Indian Movement (AIM) occupied the Pine Ridge Reservation near Wounded Knee in protest against the federal government on 27 February 1973 . A 71-day standoff between federal authorities and the AIM ensued. The Militants surrendered on 8 May .
