Today in Labor History November 8, 1972: The “Trail of Broken Treaties” marchers occupied the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Washington, DC. The protest was led by Dennis Banks and Russell Means and members of the Rosebud Sioux. They were demanding legal recognition of all existing treaties, restoration of the treaty-making process, and the return of 110 million acres of stolen Indigenous land.
