The Aryan Nations are an American anti-semitic, neo-Nazi and white supremacist terrorist group. Richard Girnt Butler founded the group during the 1970s.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) marked the Aryan Nations as a terrorist threat. In a review of terrorist groups, the RAND Corporation called it "the first truly nationwide terrorist network" in the United States.
Between the late 1970s and 2001, the Aryan Nations headquarters was just north of Hayden, Idaho. The Aryan Nations had a number of state affiliates.
