What was the outcome of the occupation of the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM)?

The 1972 occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters drew attention to AIM’s demands for greater tribal control and protection of Indigenous rights. Those demands helped shape President Richard Nixon’s policy of tribal self-determination. The occupation did not directly return 110 million acres of land or lead Congress to pass the American Indian Religious Freedom Act.
