The Yellow Thunder Camp was a camp site built by the American Indian Movement and the Black Hills Alliance in protest to retain the Black Hills to the Lakota people. The camp was named after Raymond Yellow Thunder whose death in Gordon Nebraska prompted the American Indian Movement to come to the Pine Ridge Reservation and lead a number of protests.
