Many women’s groups had staged a non-violent protest requesting that they should be given an equal pay with men. During this time, it was evident that businesses would prefer men instead of women workers. There were fewer opportunities for women as compared to men.

The Native Americans had formed a group requesting the same opportunities with the women’s group. They wanted an equal pay with the White Americans. They also wanted to get the reserves that were given to them by the government.
