NA Black Power
Key facts for Black Power Native American Civil Rights. A level OCR history.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Development of the American Indian Movement (AIM) | The most militant NA protest group was AIM, which followed a period of great militancy by civil rights protestors, particularly as part of Black Power. |
| Unity | Black Power encouraged unity with African Americans, which may have encouraged NAs to abandon tribal divisions which had weakened protests. Increased unity may have led to the successes of this period. |
| Aggression | The more aggressive tactics of Black Power and the Black Panthers may have encouraged NAs to abandon their more peaceful methods. AIM and other NA groups were much more aggressive in the 60s and 70s. |
| Abandonment of the NCAI | The pressure exerted by Black Power may have encouraged the NAs to adopt a similar policy and abandon the NCAI, which was seen as supporting those NAs who were well off, rather than those struggling. |
| 'Red Power' | The term 'Red Power' seems directly derived from 'Black Power', and the tactics appear to mirror those of the existing movement. Similarly, Red Power emphasised pride in Native American culture. |
| Response to termination | After WW2 there were clear indications, particularly in responding to termination, that NA protests were more united in their resistance to government policies, so may therefore not have needed the influence of Black Power. |
| Indian Claims Commission (ICC) | NA pressure groups were already achieving success, such as the establishment of the ICC. |
| Prior militancy | Militancy was already present among some NA protest groups such as the NIYC (est. 1961), suggesting that Black Power was not the sole inspiration |
| Conditions of termination | The move to urban areas had made it much easier for pressure groups to form against the working and living conditions. These pushed NAs to preserve their distinct culture and way of life. |
| Various protest movements | There were a range of civil rights movements growing under the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, so to attribute NA protests merely to Black Power ignores intertwined relations between various movements. |
