Indians Exercise Their Right Under the 1794 Jay Treaty Allowing Free Passage Between the USA and Canada
|
Detroit, Michigan - Members of the American Indian Movement prepare to set out in canoes and kayaks to cross the Detroit River from Detroit to Windsor, Ontario. Their aim was to enforce the terms of the 1794 Jay Treaty, which gave Indians in the U.S. and Canada the right to move freely between the two countries. The Coast Guard of both countries watched the group, but did not interfere with the crossing. AIM co-founder Dennis Banks is in the center, with raised fist.
