Answer: Organized occupations and the use of copies of old treaties to demand the recognition of their land properties.

Explanation:

The Red Power Movement or American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1963 in Minneapolis with two Chippewas indigenous, George Mitchell and Dennis Banks. They were responsible for the occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay in 1969, a protest at the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington D.C. in 1972, and the occupation of the tiny village of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. Subsequently, they discovered a more effective tactic they went into federal courts armed with copies of old treaties and demanded that those documents become the basis for restitution. They won significant settlements that provided legal recognition of their tribal rights and financial compensation at levels that upgraded the standard of living on several reservations.
