A half-century ago today, 200 Lakȟóta activists and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) began an occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, that would end up lasting 71 days.

During the 1973 Occupation of Wounded Knee, Native activists would bring larger attention to the histories of broken treaties between the United States and tribal nations and contemporary economic, social, and health disparities affecting Indian Country, as well as solidifying AIM’s position among Black, Gay and Le***an, Chicano, Women’s, and Disability rights in the larger Civil Rights movements.

And while AIM members such as Russell Means and Dennis Banks have received more media attention over the years, the women members of AIM were integral to the success of treaty negotiations for the occupation.

To commemorate their connection to the occupation and the larger strategies and achievements of AIM, , an oral history, contemporary media, and scholarship project, created a community engagement oral-history exhibit at the Pahin Sinte Owayawa School in Porcupine, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Lakota Nation.

Among those interviewed were Geraldine Janis, Arlene “Choach” Means, Ellen Moves Camp, Regina Brave, and Faith Traversie. Clips from the oral-history project are available on the organization’s website at warriorwomen.org. (You can support the project by donating to their campaign via the same link.)

The exhibit is one of several events taking place to honor the anniversary of the occupation. Community members will gather over the course of four days, February 24 through February 27, with a Wacipi yesterday and the Four Directions Walk to commemorate Liberation Day today.
