Questions: Answer these questions real quick, please. No need to spend 1 hour to answer 1 question. Just a short answer will be fine.

The questions are based on "We shall remain" movie.

1)In your own words, please describe why Oglala people and members of the American Indian Movement felt the need to occupy Wounded Knee? What situation or context were they responding to? (Be specific and reference examples from the film)

2)What was included in the Wounded Knee occupiers list of demands?

3)Why did the occupiers of Wounded Knee choose the route of militant armed resistance? (As opposed to taking the route of treaty-making diplomacy)

4)What was the main strategy employed by the American Indian Movement (AIM) when it came to radical political activism? And why was AIM particularly successful at generating publicity for their political activism?

5)What was the reason for traditional Oglala chiefs and other members of the Pine Ridge reservation inviting AIM to the reservation? What value did AIM bring to the Oglala cause?

6)What was the Goon squad's overall mission? Why did they involve themselves in the conflict between AIM/Oglala radicals and the federal government?

7)What was the significance of the location of the Wounded Knee occupation? Why did Oglala chiefs, elders, and other citizens choose Wounded Knee as the site of the occupation?

8)What role did Indigenous boarding schools play in the politicization and/or radicalization of young Indigenous people? Why were young people of "the boarding school generation" more sympathetic to the radical politics of the American Indian Movement?

9)What effect did the Relocation program of the 1950s have on Indigenous political movements? And how is this reflected in the Wounded Knee Occupation?

10)After watching We Shall Remain: Wounded Knee, can you draw any comparisons or connections between the Wounded Knee occupation and contemporary Indigenous struggles or activist movements? (Here, it might be useful to think about movements such as #NoDAPL and the Standing Rock people's fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline)
