Question

why was the american indian movement distinct from other civil rights movements? it was too small to have any meaningful effect. it was decidedly militant as opposed to nonviolent. it sought greater autonomy rather than blanket equality.

Explanation:

The American Indian Movement (AIM) was distinct from other civil - rights movements because it focused on tribal sovereignty and self - determination (autonomy). While other civil - rights movements (like the African - American civil - rights movement) often fought for equal rights within the existing American social and political framework (blanket equality), AIM emphasized the restoration of tribal lands, self - governance, and cultural preservation.

Answer:

It sought greater autonomy rather than blanket equality.
