Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales

Send us a text

In our final episode of our AIM series, we go into one of the most pivotal moments in Native history – the Wounded Knee Occupation of 1973. In this show we will take you, the listener on a journey through the origins, motivations, and lasting impact of this landmark event.
The American Indian Movement (AIM), founded in 1968, emerges as a powerful force advocating for indigenous rights, sovereignty, and self-determination. As tensions between Native communities and the US government escalate, culminating in the infamous Wounded Knee incident, AIM rises to confront systemic injustices head-on.
We explore the diverse voices within AIM – from activists like Russell Means and Dennis Banks to grassroots organizers and community members – who united to demand recognition and respect for indigenous peoples. Against the backdrop of a nation grappling with civil rights struggles, the occupation at Wounded Knee emerges as a defining moment of resistance and resilience.
But the legacy of Wounded Knee extends far beyond the barricades. Our episode examines its reverberations across Native communities, shaping the ongoing fight for land rights, tribal sovereignty, and cultural revitalization. As we reflect on the past, we confront pressing questions about justice, reconciliation, and the unfinished journey toward true equality.
Join us as we uncover stories of courage, solidarity, and hope that continue to inspire indigenous movements worldwide. We invite you the listeners to reckon with the past and envision a future where the spirit of Wounded Knee lives on in the pursuit of a more just and inclusive society.
