Native Fashion

The American Indian Movement was formed in Minneapolis in 1968 to resist police brutality, assimilation, and colonialism. It was one of the largest and most recognizable collective Indian organizations, partly due to the visible symbols, patches, pins, and t-shirts they wore to identify themselves and spread their messages.
