Aryan Nations was a North American neo-Nazi organization founded by Richard Girnt Butler in the 1970s, based in Idaho. It adhered to Christian Identity doctrine, a white supremacist interpretation of Christianity. The group organized yearly gatherings called the 'Aryan Nations World Congress' and was classified as a terrorist threat by the FBI. After Butler's death in 2004, the organization splintered into several groups, some still using the name.
