Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection contains five photographs (3.5 x 3.5 in.) related to the American Indian Movement (AIM) and the activities of the group during 1973-1974. The photos depict scenes related to the causes for various Indian protests during the 1973-1974 period. Two of the photos depict scenes in Custer, S.D. from August 1973, most likely related to the court cases surrounding the death of Wesley Bad Heart Bull; the protest and arrest of a group of Indians after the acquital of the murderer, Darold Schmidtz; or the occupation of Wounded Knee. Two of the other photos accompanied a statement letter by Dennis Hat. The photos show Hat after he was beaten up by four men who were believed to be used as part of incumbant Richard Wilson's intimidation tactics in the 1974 election for President of the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council in which he ran against Russell Means. The fifth photo is of George C. Roberts.
