Dennis Banks (Ojibwe) is one of the co-founders of the American Indian Movement (AIM). AIM began in Minneapolis in 1968 to prevent police brutality against urban Indians. It grew rapidly during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Banks took a leading role in the decisions leading to the takeovers of Alcatraz Island and Bureau of Indian Affairs Office in Washington D.C., to bring attention to the poor living conditions American Indians endured throughout the United States. In 2004, he authored Ojibwa Warrior: Dennis Banks and the Rise of the American Indian Movement.
