In Lakota Woman, Mary Crow Dog writes on page 76 about being introduced to the American Indian Movement, a grassroots Native American activist movement that started in St. Paul, Minnesota to deal with problems related to Native Americans living in the city. They were mainly urban Indians who were cut off from traditional ways, and they worked with the Sioux on the reservation. She writes that the Sioux were kept behind what they called the "Buckskin Curtain," which kept them isolated from modern life. She writes that by working together, the Indian movement became a national force. She says that as a result of being introduced to the American Indian Movement (AIM), she stopped drinking, and that "Others put away their roach clips and airplane glue bottles" (page 76). In other words, AIM gave Mary Crow Dog something to care about so that she gave up abusing substances, as did others. Later, she became a speaker at AIM rallies at colleges and in churches and met many prominent celebrities. She also joined major protests such as the Trail of Broken Treaties, thereby expanding her sense of the world.
