The Trail of Broken Treaties: In November 1972, a group of
Native
Americans
went to Washington D.C. with a list of demands in the form of a twenty point proposal to advocate for issues such as treaty
rights and living standards for the
Native
American
community. Frustrated that their demands were not being heard, protesters began occupying the Bureau of Indian Affairs offices.
This occupation ended after a week, when the Nixon Administration met with protesters to further discuss treaty negotiations.
