In 1973 the American Indian Movement (AIM) occupied the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, the site of the massacre of Sioux Indians in 1890. The American Indian activists wanted to draw attention to the impoverished social conditions on Native American reservations. In response, FBI agents (fresh from their battles with Black Panthers) stormed the town killing an activist. These events were portrayed in the docudrama Incident at Oglala—The Leonard Peltier Story (1992). The conflict marked a new, more militant phase in the resistance to oppression among American Indians.
