Clyde David Dollar (1932-1983) was an anthropologist and historian keenly interested in American Indians. When the American Indian Movement began their occupation of the Wounded Knee facility on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota during February and March, 1973, Dollar became an avid collector of materials on the incident. In addition to printed materials, photographs, and ephemera, Dollar also collected interviews with witnesses and some clandestinely recorded cassettes of telephone conversations between participants of the Wounded Knee occupation and their outside contacts.
