MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History February 27, 1973: 300 Oglala Sioux activists from the American Indian Movement (AIM) liberated and occupied Wounded Knee, South Dakota. This was the site of the infamous Massacre at Wounded Knee (1890). They occupied the site to protest a campaign of terror against them by the FBI, and corrupt tribal officials, and the tribal thugs knowns as GOONs (Guardians of Oglala Nation). The occupation lasted over 2 months, before being quashed by the U.S. government. 3 Native activists were killed. Dennis Banks and Russell Means were indicted for their roll, but charges were later dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aim</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WoundedKnee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WoundedKnee</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/massacre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#massacre</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/occupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#occupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fbi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oglala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oglala</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sioux</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#native</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terrorism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIndianMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIndianMovement</a>

"Among the films in this year’s lineup are powerful portrayals of Indigenous experiences, including El Norte and Free Leonard Peltier."Sundance Institute Senior Programmer Heidi Zwicker told Native News Online that the selection of films underscores diverse narratives in Native films. "'The films that we have this year indicate how much you can’t define what an Indigenous film should be like,' Zwicker said. 'There’s such multiplicity in the stories and worlds these filmmakers present, even within a single community.'"The Festival will take place from January 23 to February 2, 2025, with screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as a curated online program accessible to audiences nationwide from January 30 to February 2."Free Leonard Peltier, co-directed by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JesseShortBull" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JesseShortBull</a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oglala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oglala</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lakota</a>) and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DavidFrance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidFrance</a>, is a documentary that dives into the life and legacy of Leonard Peltier, a leader of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIndianMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanIndianMovement</a> who has been imprisoned for 50 years following a controversial conviction.
