Repost from @ndncollective 50 years ago on this day, Indigenous resistors, grassroots community members, and members of the #AmericanIndianMovement came together at Wounded Knee, South Dakota in what would be a 71-day occupation in protest of the violation of Indigenous treaty rights, while also shining light on murders of Native American people and the lenient sentences given to white perpetrators. Also as a response to oppressive GOON tactics on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the takeover at Wounded Knee catalyzed the Red Power Movement in the 70s and lent itself to a long legacy of Indigenous resistance. Today, we carry on the same spirit of resistance, remembering where we came from, while keeping a keen eye on the future of building Indigenous power. Today, we remember all of the resistors and organizers of our past, and all of our relatives who made sacrifices during this era so that we all may realize and know our power while continuing to fight for our inherent rights unapologetically. STAY TUNED for NDN Collective livestream coverage of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Wounded Knee Occupation on FB, IG, YouTube, and Twitter later today. #LiberationDay #WoundedKneeOccupation #LANDBACK https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLZ22pPXD_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
