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.
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.
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.
No, it does not exist anymore
No, because the blacks and whites were still separate at the time. No matter what gender you were.

You do not have to be an "Indian" (Native American) to do that, your teacher should tell you this.
women's liberation, environmentalism, peace movement, gay rights, indigenous rights, antinuclear movement, African-Americans joining mainstream America, American-Indian movement, Disability Rights Movement.

One has to wonder why anyone still refers to the American Indian as "red". Beyond that Native American is just a politically correct (in some people's eyes) name for the American Indian.
There are about 450 Languages spoken in India and about 700 different Native American languages. But there is no such language as "Indian".
They were not conquered, and still remain unconquered - to put it as many others have: "I would rather die on my feet, as to live on my knees" (that saying goes for me as well). Many Native American groups, still today, are fighting the USA through its own court system, as well as attempting to find sponsorship to the UN Court against the USA (Treaty violations / violations of Montevideo Convention / violations of Genocide Convention) - See A.I.M. (American Indian Movement).
the largest grassroots movement in American history, and US Term Limits (USTL) was, and still is, the leader of that movement.
That would be the last surviving member of a genocidal campaign by americans, still alive in american's version of a death camp. Indian reservations still exist all over america, and most of those people exist in horrible conditions brought about by American Policies & Government.
