 Banks ~~ Native American leader, teacher, lecturer, activist and author~~is 
 an Anishinabe born on Leech Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota . 
 In 1968 he co-founded the American Indian Movement (AIM) to protect the 
 traditional ways of Indian people and to engage in legal cases protecting 
 treaty rights of Natives.  \n\nAmong other activities, AIM participated in 
 the occupation of Alcatraz Island which lasted from 1969-1971, organized 
 and led the Trail of Broken Treaties' caravan across the U.S. to 
 Washington, D.C in 1972. Failure by the government to hold scheduled 
 meetings with the caravan resulted in the seizure and occupation of the 
 Bureau of Indian Affairs Office. It also spearheaded the move on Pine Ridge 
 Indian Reservation in South Dakota in 1973 to oust corruption and the U.S. 
 appointed chairman. These activities led to the occupation of Wounded Knee 
 and a siege of 71 days. Banks was the principal negotiator and leader of 
 the Wounded Knee forces. \n\n
