American Indian Culture and Research Journal

Though much has been written about the growth of Indian activism in the sixties, academic studies of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and other Native American activist organizations that have advocated confrontational tactics have been somewhat varied in their topics and approaches. Many works in the popular press have covered a broad range of Indian issues, while other works have focused attention on particular personalities and particular incidents involving AIM. This essay will provide an overview of the written material available for the use of scholars choosing materials for teaching purposes or for pursuing further research.
