Henry Crow Dog and Dennis Banks

In 1970, Henry Crow Dog introduced Dennis Banks, a Leech Lake Indian Reservation Ojibwe and leader of the American Indian Movement, about Lakota religion.^[2]^[3] Dennis Banks sought out Henry Crow Dog for this purpose after he realized that he and most of AIM had very little Native American spiritual knowledge or guidance.^[4] Crow Dog then taught Banks the Inipi, Yuwipi, and Sun Dance ceremonies.^[5] Henry Crow Dog's son, Leonard Crow Dog, soon became the spiritual leader of AIM and Crow Dog's Paradise soon became a meeting place for the organization.^[6]
