Why did the American Indian movement occupy Wounded Knee?

The American Indian Movement occupied Wounded Knee in 1973 to call attention to the U.S. government’s failure to honor treaties and to demand that treaty rights be respected. The protest also raised broader concerns about conditions on reservations, but protesting broken treaties was its central purpose here. Therefore, the correct choice is A, “to protest federal policies regarding broken treaties.”
