The main objective of the Native American movement in the 1960s was to achieve civil rights and greater recognition of indigenous sovereignty. Activists sought to address poverty, discrimination, and the termination policies that threatened their land and culture. The movement aimed to reclaim rights over tribal lands, protect cultural heritage, and promote self-determination. Significant events like the occupation of Alcatraz, the formation of organizations like the American Indian Movement (AIM), and protests against government policies highlighted the struggle for justice and equality. Ultimately, the movement led to increased awareness and legislative changes regarding Native American rights.
