Answer
The statement reflects AIM's goals of addressing the issues faced by American Indians and advocating for their rights and sovereignty. It emphasizes the need for a rational and reasoned approach to constructing a better future for American Indians in America. It does not explicitly call for separation from America but rather seeks to improve conditions within the existing framework. While it may critique government actions, it primarily focuses on the empowerment and advancement of American Indian communities rather than solely blaming the government.
