Trail of Broken Treaties

The Trail of Broken Treaties was a 1972 protest organized by Native American activists to highlight issues like broken agreements, land rights, and government neglect. Participants took over Bureau of Indian Affairs offices in several cities, airing concerns about treaties that the U.S. government failed to honor. The protest aimed to raise awareness and push for better treatment of Native communities, emphasizing the importance of respecting treaty commitments and addressing historical injustices faced by Indigenous peoples.
