Description:
On Friday, August 15, 1975, after four days of camping out in front of the BPA building, approximately 100 members of the Survival of American Indians Association took over the BPA offices. The action was designed to call attention to the violation of human rights that was taking place on the Pine Ridge Reservation and the murder of Joe Stuntz at Wounded Knee, and to demand an end to the undeclared state of martial law in South Dakota. A six day march from Olympia preceeded the occupation.
