1.During the 1960s to 1980s, an active Indian movement, which was the
Red Power Movement, took place in the US. In the lecture’s text, it
states that political Red Power is a form of Red Power that attempts to
solve problems through the political process (Lecture Ch.2, 2020). The
bottom line of the political Red Power movement is a problem solved.
Moreover, according to the website, the web mentions that The Red Power
movement was a social movement led by Native American youth to demand
self-determination for Native Americans, and the phrase “Red Power” was
written by an author, Vine Deloria, Jr (Wikipedia, 2019).
There are two types of political Red Power. One is tribal
Red Power, the other is Organizational Red Power. For tribes examples,
Makah Indians have problems with white people because they driving on
their ocean beach reservation, littering and partying. So, Makah Indian
start to protest. After a protest, they closed a major portion of the
reservation, and they were given a victory. Therefore, whites were
given limited access to the reservation beach( Lecture Ch.2, 2020).
Furthermore, The Havasupai tribe live at the bottom of the Grand Canyon;
they found that tourists caused many problems with the environment. So
their protests led to the closing of some of their reservation at the
bottom on the Grand Canyon to tourists (Lecture Ch.2, 2020). For
organizations examples, such as the National Indian Youth Council. This
Organization found some problems with fishing rights, so they protest
for fishing rights. This organization was very active in the movement to
preserve tribal fishing rights in the Northwest (Wikipedia, 2019).
Moreover, the American Indian Movement, There were some problems
happened between American and Indian. Indians gathered together to
protest broken treaties and to talk to government officials. However,
few government officials willing to talk with them. Therefore, in 1973,
the movement came one of the high points of political red power with the
AIM seizure of Wounded Knee. Massive Indians were killed( Lecture Ch.2,
2020).
2.
The Red Power Movement commonly expressed a growing sense of the
Indian national identity in the late 1960s among American Indians in the
United States. The Red Power Movement was the American Indian Movement,
founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The members and leaders of
this Movement were young and active who represented urban Indian
communities. The purpose of this American Indian Movement was to promote
civil rights for Indians in different cities. The members of this
movement were trying to seek equal treatment from police against their
community people. In a short time, this movement was able to gain some
benefits and being a role in building places of their own like churches
and making charity organizations. The Movement wanted to have rights
about police brutality, racism, sub-standard housing and unemployment in
communities, not to mention long-standing concerns about treaties
broken by the US government. The founding members of the organization
include George Mitchell, Dennis Banks, Eddie Benton Panay, and Clyde
Pelican, who mobilized the Native American community to discuss these
concerns. The leadership soon found itself fighting for tribal
sovereignty, restoring indigenous lands, preserving indigenous cultures,
good education and health care for indigenous peoples. By the late
1970s, the Red Power movement began to collapse due to internal
conflicts, the imprisonment of leaders and efforts by government
agencies such as the FBI and CIA to infiltrate the group. The national
leadership was reportedly dissolved in 1978. The local branches of the
group remained active. The Red Power movement remains based in
Minneapolis with many branches nationwide. The organization takes pride
in fighting for the rights of indigenous peoples enshrined in the
treaties and helping to preserve indigenous traditions and spiritual
practices. The organization also fought for the interests of indigenous
peoples in Canada, Latin America and around the world. No one, inside or
outside the movement, has so far been able to destroy the will and
power of the movement solidarity.
I
think that financially it might be helpful to the modern Indians but
that might not be as easy as it sounds. That’s because, by 2011, there
were 460 gambling casinos operated by 240 tribes across the United
States, total annual revenue of $ 27 billion, according to the National
Indian Gambling Commission. Despite revenue growth and improvements in
the infrastructure of some of the reserves as a result of casinos, there
are indications that they have not improved the conditions of American
Indians in general. 54 percent between 1991 and 1997, as many jobs were
held by non-Indians, according to tribal data provided to the Bureau of
Indian Affairs. So money might not be the solution after all.
