In 1976, the mutilated body of Anna Mae Aquash, an American Indian activist, was found on a South Dakota ranch. It took more than 25 years for her killer to be discovered. Anna Mae's murder made national news because of her involvement in the Indian civil rights movement. Her goal was to improve the lives of indigenous people in America and Canada.

Anna Mae was not the first or the last indigenous woman to be slain after speaking out to protect her people or to gain civil rights.

In your essay, discuss the American Indian civil rights history and the historical processes since 1960s, and explain what events have led indigenous people to fight for protection and to try to prevent violence against Native American women.
