Mohawk tribal newspaper, 1973

The Mohawk tribe in upstate New York published this edition of their newspaper, Akwesasne Notes, after the occupation ended. The pictures document negotiations between Oglala Lakota leaders and the federal government. The meetings about treaty rights had no lasting results.
