Wounded Knee Massacre Ceremony after the Occupation - Wounded Knee Occupation, 1973

On February 27, 1973, about 250x Oglala Lakota led by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) converged on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation, launching the historical 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee. Set in the same impoverished village as the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre, the occupation called global attention to unsafe living conditions and generations of mistreatment from federal and local agencies. The occupation, which began during the evening of February 27, is hailed as one of AIM’s greatest successes. The protest followed the failure of an effort of the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization (OSCRO) to use impeachment to remove tribal president Richard Wilson, whom they accused of corruption and abuse of opponents. Additionally, protesters criticized the United States government's failure to fulfill treaties with Native American people and demanded the reopening of treaty negotiations to hopefully arrive at fair and equitable treatment of Native Americans. “In a way, it was a very beautiful experience,” said Len Foster, a Navajo man who joined AIM in 1970 and was at Wounded Knee for the entire 71 days. “It was a time to look at the commitment we made and a willingness to put our lives on the line for a cause.” ----------------------- WOUNDED KNEE - behind the camera In 1973 Dean Evenson was called out to Pine Ridge, South Dakota to videotape the occupation of Wounded Knee. Native Americans led by A.I.M. (American Indian Movement) occupied the town for 71 days in protest of poverty, treaty issues, and ongoing injustice toward the tribal people. The site was chosen for its symbolic value based on the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre. Dean and his team stayed in South Dakota for a month videotaping and learning more about the culture and situation. Once the occupation ended, Chief Frank Fools Crow hosted on his land in Kyle, SD the first ever negotiations with tribal members and White House representatives. During this meeting, elders and tribal members spoke passionately about their traditions, their respect for the planet, as well as the challenges they faced.
