For the ones here now, and those still to come,
and for the memories of our Ancestors.

The American Indian Movement is a Turtle Island movement.
They are the modern day warriors for the Indigenous
Peoples everywhere. Many have layed down their
lives so that we might live in peace as a Nation. Peace brings
a high price that many are not afraid to pay. These men and
women are rarely recognized or even thanked for their daily
sacrifices.
Leonard Peltier is one such warrior. He has been imprisoned 26 years for a crime he did not commit. He can not be silenced.
Such is the makeup of a warrior fighting for the People.
There are many informative links here, if I missed anyone,
I apologize.
American Indian Movement
Grand Governing Council
Pledged to fight White Man's injustice to Indians, his oppression,
persecution, discrimination and malfeasance in the handling of
Indian Affairs.
No area in North America is too remote when trouble impends for
Indians. AIM shall be there to help the Native People regain human
rights and achieve restitutions and restorations.
Words by respected Mohawk elder
Louis Hall december 1973
Statement of the
American Indian Movement
The American Indian Movement is a legitimate national liberation
organization in the original indigenous territories of
North America, now claimed by the United States.
We have been active in the United Nations since before
there was a Working Group on Indigenous Peoples and
before there was a Draft Declaration.
It is because of our long-standing work in this forum that we
feel compelled to inform you why we are leaving this process
today. We stand in complete solidarity with our Maori brothers and sisters.
American Indian Movement
Encarta Encyclopedia Article
(AIM), organization devoted to promoting cultural
awareness and political self-determination for
Native Americans. AIM seeks recognition of
treaty rights in accordance with agreements between
Native American tribes and the United States government.
The organization also supports Native American education
and cultural programs. AIM is best known for its
confrontational political demonstrations during the late
1960s and 1970s.
AIM: One View
Images of Wounded Knee When people who are AIM think of the old days, images flash in their minds of good and bad times.
Struggles of the people, fought for and won; family members murdered in the name of genocide and Amerikkka; battles won and lost.
When people who are not AIM think of the old days of the Movement, they sometimes draw a complete blank. Other times, they get fuzzy images of memory, both real or television enhanced.
The images here are real. The people and the actions are real.
The images are a little fuzzy and hard to see. In the early days of the Movement, the AIM, itself, was a little fuzzy and hard to see for most people; especially for non-Indian people.

We are in struggle to establish health services, job training, prison programs, substance abuse services, as well as many issues of indigenous peoples rights. Grave desecration is rampant in our area.
Our sister site, the South Eastern Anti-desecration League, assists us in our struggle against grave desecration in Tennessee as well as throughout the southeastern US.

It is incomprehensible to us that if someone is digging in their yard
or field and comes across the grave of an American soldier.. say from the Civil War... that the remains are transported and buried with honors in a veterans cemetery;
yet if they uncover the remains of an Indian person...the remains wind up on museum shelves and the funerary objects and artifacts many times find themselves being auctioned off to the highest bidder...there to sit as conversation pieces on the coffee tablesof affluent non-Indian people.

First and foremost, Michigan AIM is a spiritually-guided movement.
It is only through respect for, and participation in, our traditional ceremonies that we will fully understand our responsibilities in defense of Indian peoples, our land and our future. We are committed to the protection of all traditional Indian spiritual beliefs and ceremonies. We respect all spiritual beliefs and religions, and we expect the same in return. We do not have missionaries; we do not attempt to persuade or convert others to our way of thought or belief, and we demand the same respect in return.
American Indians civil Rights
The United States is a sovereign nation among the great powers of the world and beholden to no one. The adjective "sovereign" requires substantial qualification before it is applied to Indian tribes.
Far from being sovereign today they are under the control of a Government which is dominated by non-Indians. This makes us think that what might be appropriate restrictions and limitations on the United States of America could be quite inappropriate restrictions and limitations upon an Indian tribe.

"AIM" is not an organization. AIM, as its name clearly says, is a movement. Within that movement organizations come and go. No one person or special group of people runs AIM. Don't confuse AIM
with any individual or individual organization."
