What was the American-Indian Movement?
The Native American rights movement (which included the AIM [American Indian Movement]) was geared towards the enforcement of treaties made one hundred or more years before hand. Many of those treaties included hunting on their land without restrictions, obtaining the land they were promised but never given, and reclaiming their ancestral artifacts and skeletons.
What was the name of the last armed American Indian resistance to US rule?
That would have been the Wounded Knee Siege in 1973 where Lakota and other tribes joined with the American Indian Movement made a final stand for Native Rights. You probably were referring to the First wounded knee Massacre, but that was not an armed resistance. That was cold blooded murder of old men, women and children.
Were there black Indians?
Of course there were and still are "Black Indians," that is people of African and American Indian heritage. This combination has been with us since the time of the Spanish in Florida and was accelerated by the practice of slavery by certain American Indian tribes in the south. It is estimated that 80% of African-Americans have Indian heritage.
Does the Works Progress Administration still exist?
No, it does not exist anymore
Did African American women and white women work together during the women's rights movement?
No, because the blacks and whites were still separate at the time. No matter what gender you were.
