Congress passed the California Rancheria Termination Act. Rancherias are unique Californian institutions referring to Indian settlements established by the U. The act terminates 41 of these settlements. An amendment to the California Rancheria Termination Act was enacted, terminating additional rancheria lands. Inspired by the traditional Warrior Societies of nations like the Mohawk, and taking cues from the serve the people programmes of the Black Panthers, AIM establishes a community centre, and provides help to Indians in finding work, housing and legal aid.
It also helps to organize early protests, and establishes a copwatch patrol. Although the most well known, AIM was just one part of a broad Native resistance movement that emerged at this time sometimes referred to as Red Power. The occupation was largely in response to the U. The two guinea pigs for the policy, the Menominee of Wisconsin and the Klamath of Oregon, suffered terrible social and economic consequences.
Thousands of Indians participated in the action, most coming from urban areas and searching for their identity. It becomes an annual protest. In Pennsylvania, unknown persons break into FBI office and take many classified documents. The program initially targeted the African Liberation Movement, especially the Black Panthers, but would later also turn its eyes on the Red Power and Chicano Movements.
It used imprisonment, assaults and lethal force to enforce the established order. After much struggle by both the Chicano and the Indian communities though not without some disagreement , D—Q University is founded. The two year college is path breaking in the way it openly treats Chicanos as tribal Native people. When the caravan of several thousand activists arrived in Washington, government officials refused to meet with them. In response The Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters is occupied for 6 days.
Extensive damage is done to the property and thousands of files taken. His murderers are only charged with manslaughter, and were then released without bail. AIM organized several days of protests and boycotts, and succeeded in having actual murder charges laid against the settlers. The police chief fired.
Yellow Thunder is from Pine Ridge, and this incident helps build a stronger relationship between AIM and traditional Lakotas on the reserve. The Brown Berets reclaimed Isla de Santa Catalina in order to bring attention of the illegal occupation of theislands by the U.
The Brown Berets were disbanded by thethen Prime Minister David Sanchez in order to circumvent any violence the members of the organizationwhich was being promoted by those infiltrators mentioned above. Again the perpetrator is only charged with manslaughter. On February 6, an AIM again protests against this kind of injustice. In Custer, SD, the protests cause the courthouse erupts into riot. Police cars and buildings are set on fire. With the aid of U.
Angered by the ongoing repression and violence, some AIM memebers, supporters and traditionalist Lakota warriors begin an occupation of Wounded Knee on February The siege ends on May 9. Warriors begin to search for land to re-possess.
A group of traditionalist Mohawks, along with veterans of the Wounded Knee occupation, begin an occupation of Ganienkeh in New York state. The warriors retake land and engage in an armed standoff with state police.
Eventually, negotiations result in Mohawks taking a parcel of land in upstate NY in Ganienkeh, a community run in accordance with ancient Six Nations tradition, continues to exist today.
It ends with riot police attacking 1, Indian activists at Parliament Building. Perhaps the most famous incident of the period: the shootout at Oglala. The failed operation ends with 2 agents killed along with 1 Native defender Joe Stuntz-Killsright.
The occupation lasted thirty four days and, when it ended, many leaders of the occupation faced criminal indictments and trials. Despite an initial cover-up by the FBI, an independent autopsy finds that Aquash had been executed with a bullet in the back of the head. To this day no one knows for sure who killed Anna Mae, and her death has been used to tear the movement apart, with some fingering others within AIM, and others the government.
A third suspect, Leonard Peltier, is captured in Canada. The trial of Leonard Peltier ends with his conviction of murder and imprisonment for 2 life terms. His conviction is based on FBI fabrication and withholding of evidence. Peltier remains in prison to this day, one of the longest held Prisoners of War in the U.
This is despite the fact that the white fishermen take order of magnitude more fish than the Indians. UdB is a Marxist-Leninist and revolutionary nationalist organization Raza organization.
UdB expands the usual definition of La Raza to include the indigenous people of North America, making Brown and Red native unity part of its program. They claimed they are searching for illegal cigarettes. In response Warriors seized the Mercier Bridge, a vital commuter link into Montreal, part of which runs through the Kahnawake reserve. A logging camp and vehicles are damaged by Molotov attacks. The struggle of the Lubicon continues to this day, now with the added threat of even greater ecological destruction and health effects at the hands of the Canadian Oil Sands.
Many Innu were arrested during the blockade of runways. The Oka Crisis. Following a day armed standoff began. The Oka Crisis inspired solidarity actions across country, including road and rail blockades and sabotage of bridges and electrical pylons. In San Francisco, riot cops fought running battles with protesters, who set 1 police car on fire and disrupted an official Columbus Day parade and re-enactment of his landing.
The Zapatista Rebellion begins. In response, the government deployed 15, soldiers and killed several hundred civilians in attacks. Since , the Zapatistas have continued to gain widespread support and sympathy throughout Mexico and the world. Along with Oka, the Zapatista uprising helps to inspire and drive 20 years of resurgence in the Indian movement in North America. Two major events took place this year in Canada.
The first is in Ipperwash, Ontario, were an unarmed protest and re-occupation ended with Ontario police opening fire on the protesters. They kill one Indian, Dudley George, on September 6. The re-occupation had begun in The land, originally the Stoney Point reserve, was taken by the government during the second world war for use as a temporary army base. After the killing of Dudley George, the government admitted the peoples claims were justified. The second incident is the month-long siege that occured at Gustafsen Lake in the south-central Interior of British Colombia.
It began after a settler attempted to evict Secwepemc sundancers from their traditional ceremonial grounds. It was inspired by the year-long trial of Gustafsen Lake defenders, held near Vancouver.
NYM soon began attending conferences, organizing protests, distributing information, etc. Both of these are actions against treaty process. NYM Warriors wear masks and camouflage uniforms.
They also carry batons to deter Fisheries officers, who routinely harassed Cheam fishers. As a result of this the NYM forms security force. This later took on a life of its on and became the Westcoast Warrior Society.
Currie, British Colombia, to stop a massive ski resort from being built on an untouched alpine mountain area. They were again met with repression from hundreds of police and fisheries officers. Members of Westcoast Warrior Society participated in defensive operations. After decades of the struggle by the Indian community and its allies, the San Francisco Peaks are designated a Traditional Cultural Property, which allows it to be eligible for consideration as an official National Historic Register site.
A 2-day occupation of government office in Kamloops occured to protest selling of Native land. Seven persons are arrested. In December, Annishinabe in the northern Ontario community of Grassy Narrows began to blockade logging companies from destroying their traditional territory. The blockade becomes one of the longest in recent history, continuing through to the present, and directed primarily against Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi corporations.
They were allegedly searching for weapons. In January, Mohawk warriors surrounded the Kanesatake police station after band chief brings in outside police forces to crackdown on political opposition. Over 60 police were barricaded inside station.
Rifles and ammunition were seized in the bust. Shortly after, the West Coast Warrior Society was disbanded by its members. They cited the ongoing repression of them by the police. In July they began blockading roads being used by construction machinery, and in September fifteen Tahltans including elders were arrested by the RCMP. The Tahltan continued their campaign, including blockades, through and The Ontario Provincial Police are forced to withdraw however, as hundreds of Six Nations members converge on the site.
More blockades were erected in the area, including on Highway 6, which consisted of burning tires, vehicles and dismantled electrical pylons, and mounds of gravel. A train bridge was also burned down. The next day on the Tyendinaga reserve, a Canadian National Railway line was blocked, cutting off a major freight and passenger line.
The Six Nations members originally began their blockade to stop a housing development on land they claimed belongs to them. The blockades and land reclamation continue for over a year, with numerous conflicts with settlers and police occurring, as well as sabotage.
Several persons were arrested. It is motivated and guided by indigenous spiritual and ethical teachings, and dedicated to the transformation of indigenous people in the midst of the severe decline of our nations and the crises threatening our existence.
It exists to enable indigenous people to live authentic, free and healthy lives in our homelands. The movement only last a few years before self-dissolving. The group claimed the action in honour of Harriet Nahanee, a Native elder who passed away after being sentenced to two weeks imprisonment for taking part in a blockade of construction on the Sea-to-Sky highway in preparation for This year also saw the attempt by a group of Lakota leaders to move for the unilateral withdrawal of the Lakota from the Treaties of and as permitted under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, of which, the United States is a signatory.
Their proposed independent nation is called the Republic of Lakotah. In fact, many militant Native organizations, such as the Native Youth Movement, called a boycott of the Day of Action. These organizations, rightly, stated that the AFN does not represent our people and that, when they talk about solutions, their long-term goal is actually assimilation. In December members of the Chaco Rio Indian community in New Mexico established a blockade to prevent preliminary work for proposed development of a massive coal-fired power plant.
Across Canada other preparations for the Winter Olympics, set to take place on unceded Indian land, were disrupted by protesters. The Mohawk Nation branch of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy at Kahnawake filed a formal complaint about the construction of Super Highway The land reclamation effort at Caledonia by the Six Nations Haudenosaunee Confederacy entered its third year with the warriors showing no signs of backing down.
It continues to be ongoing to this day. Native warrior, American Indian Movement leader and political prisoner Leonard Peltier is again denied parole by the colonial government in the United States. His next parol hearing will not be until the year In July people in Oka and the nearby Mohawk community gathered to remember the resistance at Oka and to protest the ongoing attempts to marginalize the Mohawk people and take their land.
The Canadian Federal Government used an obscure part of the Indian Act to forcibly strip the Barrie Lake Algonquin of their traditional government, and replace it with a Band Council subservient to Ottawa.
The Barrie Lake people met this imperialist-colonialist move with stiff resistance. In June agents of the colonial state invade sovereign Mohawk communities in Quebec. On paper they are looking for marijuana, but it much more likely that this is state terror tactics against some of the most firmly sovereigntist Native communities on the continent.

Below, some of the most aggressive acts of genocide taken against Indigenous Americans:. In , a group of militiamen from Pennsylvania killed 96 Christianized Delaware Indians, illustrating the growing contempt for native people.
Captain David Williamson ordered the converted Delawares, who had been blamed for attacks on white settlements, to go to the cooper shop two at a time, where militiamen beat them to death with wooden mallets and hatchets. Ironically, the Delawares were the first Native Americans to capture a white settler and the first to sign a U. Many treaties negotiated U. In the early s, the rise of the charismatic Shawnee war leader, Tecumseh , and his brother, known as the Prophet, convinced Indians of various tribes that it was in their interest to stop tribal in-fighting and band together to protect their mutual interests.
The decision by Indiana Territorial Governor and later President William Henry Harrison in to attack and burn Prophetstown, the Indian capital on the Tippecanoe River, while Tecumseh was away campaigning the Choctaws for more warriors, incited the Shawnee leader to attack again. This time he persuaded the British to fight alongside his warriors against the Americans. An inter-tribal conflict among Creek Indian factions, the war also engaged U. Early Creek victories inspired General Andrew Jackson to retaliate with 2, men, mostly Tennessee militia, in early November In desperation, Mvskoke Creek women killed their children so they would not see the soldiers butcher them.
As one woman started to kill her baby, the famed Indian fighter, Andrew Jackson, grabbed the child from the mother. Later, he delivered the Indian baby to his wife Rachel, for both of them to raise as their own. The subsequent treaty required the Creek to cede more than 21 million acres of land to the United States. A painting depicting the Trail of Tears, when Native Americans were forced by law to leave their homelands and move to designated territory in the west. One of the most bitterly debated issues on the floor of Congress was the Indian Removal Bill of , pushed hard by then-President Andrew Jackson.
Despite being assailed by many legislators as immoral, the bill finally passed in the Senate by nine votes, 29 to 17, and by an even smaller margin in the House. Established in the midst of another and a superior race…they must necessarily yield to the force of circumstances and ere [before] long disappear.
Researchers from University College London found that, after the rapid population decline, large swaths of vegetation and farmland were abandoned. The trees and flora that repopulated that unmanaged farmland started absorbing more carbon dioxide and keeping it locked in the soil, removing so much greenhouse gas from the atmosphere that the planet's average temperature dropped by 0. Typically, experts look to the Industrial Revolution as the genesis of human-driven climate impacts.
But this study shows that effects may have began some years earlier. Experts have long struggled to quantify the extent of the slaughter of indigenous American peoples in North, Central, and South America.
That's mostly because no census data or records of population size exist to help pinpoint how many people were living in these areas prior to To approximate population numbers, researchers often rely on a combination of European eyewitness accounts and records of "encomienda" tribute payments set up during colonial rule. But neither metric is accurate — the former tends to overestimate population sizes, since early colonizers wanted to advertise riches of newly discovered lands to European financial backers.
The latter reflects a payment system that was put in place after many disease epidemics had already run their course, the authors of the new study noted. So the new study offers a different method: the researchers divided up North and South America into regions and combed through all published estimates of pre-Columbian populations in each one.
In doing so, authors calculated that about Once Koch and his colleagues collated the before-and-after numbers, the conclusion was stark. That means about 55 million people perished because of violence and never-before-seen pathogens like smallpox, measles , and influenza.
Using these population numbers and estimates about how much land people used per capita, the study authors calculated that indigenous populations farmed roughly 62 million hectares , square miles of land prior to European contact.
Over time, trees and vegetation took over that previously farmed land and started absorbing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Julia Pareci of the indigenous Pareci community stands iin front a corn field planted within an Indian reservation, near the town of Conquista do Oeste, Brazil. Carbon dioxide CO2 traps heat in the planet's atmosphere it's what human activity now emits on an unprecedented scale , but plants and trees absorb that gas as part of photosynthesis.
