This book looks at the emergence of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and the opposition to it. From the meeting in Minnesota's Still-water Penitentiary of the Bellecourt brothers, Dennis Banks, and other Indian prisoners, came AIM: in 1968, a patrol monitoring police harassment in Minneapolis' Indian ghetto; by 1972, a nationwide political and spiritual movement calling Native Americans to their land and sacred traditions, and calling white Americans to account. Weylet chronicles the unrelenting efforts of state and federal governments and corporate powers--Peabody Coal, Union Carbide, Exxon, Kerr-McGee, Gulf--to undermine, co-opt, and ""neutralize"" (i.e., murder) members of the Movement.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-290) and index.
