Its goals included: enforcement of treaties better living conditions greater autonomy, or self-government 1973 – AIM took over Wounded Knee for 71 days, holding off U.S. marshals. Several laws passed in the 1970s favored Native American rights.

Counterculture youth Many young people (called hippies) adopted counterculture values. The emergence of new views on sexual conduct was labeled “the sexual revolution.” The use of illegal drugs became widespread during the 1960s.

The issue became balancing economic development with environmental protection.
