Manuel Lujan Jr. has district offices in New Mexico and Washington D.C. He is a member of the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee and the Atomic Energy Joint Committee. The American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 by Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt and received funding from various sources. AIM engaged in protests and occupations, including the takeover of Alcatraz Island and the Wounded Knee Trading Post. Some Native Americans criticized AIM for their lawlessness and violence and their attempts to gain control of reservations.
