This first book-length study of the Wounded Knee trials demonstrates the impact that legal institutions and the media have on political dissent. It also shows how the dissenters as defendants can influence these institutions and the surrounding political and cultural climate. The American Indian Movement (AIM) and its attorneys successfully turned the courtroom into a political forum on the history of U.S. Indian relations but were often frustrated in telling their story by the need to observe legal procedures - and by the media's stereotyping them as Indian warriors or 1960s militants. John Sayer draws on court records, news reports, and interviews with participants to show how the defense, and ultimately the prosecution, had to respond continually to legal constraints, media coverage, and political events taking place outside the courtroom.
