On Guard at Wounded Knee |

| Armed members of the American Indian Movement stand guard in Wounded Knee, South Dakota, during a 71-day standoff with the United States government in 1973. The culmination of the Native American protest movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Wounded Knee helped inspire a new generation of Native Americans to work toward addressing the persistent economic problems facing their communities, such as unemployment and poverty. | ||||||
