Discussion Post
In 1976, the mutilated body of Anna Mae Aquash, an American Indian Activist, was found on a South Dakota Ranch. It will take more than 25 years before her killer will be discovered. Anna Mae's murder will make national news because of her involvement in the Indian Civil Rights Movement. Her goal was to improve the lives of indigenous people in America and Canada.
Anna Mae was not the first or the last indigenous women to be slain after speaking out to protect her people or to gain civil rights.
• Discuss the American Indian Civil Rights history and the historical processes since 1960s, and explain what events have led to indigenous people to legally fight for protection and try to legally prevent violence against Native American Women.
