- The U.S. government considered the American Indian Movement (AIM)—the organization headed by John Trudell from 1969 to 1971—a "terrorist organization.” Do you agree with this assessment? Why or why not?
- Has America’s “native consciousness”—or the way we perceive indigenous people—changed since the Native American movement of the 1960s and ‘70s? If so, how?
- In the film, John Trudell says about the occupation of Alcatraz:
“We occupied in the name of the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty and the reality that treaties are laws, so…it was really about a legal issue, not a moral or ethical issue...”
Do you agree with John Trudell’s assertion, that the U.S. government has the responsibility to uphold past treaties?
