Rest in peace Russell Means
A legend in his own eyes and the world doesn’t change one whit.
Rest in peace Russell Means
Note to self...when confronted by a health crisis do *not* seek help from an OsamaObamaCare death panel or embrace traditional American Indian remedies.
***...a former American Indian Movement activist who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee,****
I remember those days. After they took over and burned the church at Wounded Knee, lots of bearded hippies joined them for a while.
One of the Indians was photographed holding an AK-47 years before they were allowed to be imported in the US.
The problems spread clear to Farmington NM where there was lots of trouble when the Fairchild Plant at Gallup had a layoff and the Indians then occupied the building in protest. Some local Navajos were oppposed to the outsider Indians coming into the area causing problems while others joined in the takeover. There was a riot that year 1974 during a parade in downtown Farmington caused by the Indians.
The Oklahoma authorities stopped a possible take over of YALE, Oklahoma when they arrested several armed non local Indians who claimed they were only going elk hunting. Elke hunting in the middle of Oklahoma in the summer? I don’t think so as there were no elk within several hundred miles.
Many other areas also had Indian problems that year with several whites killed for no reason.
Will they bury his heart at Wounded Knee?..............
Russell Means was a REAL NATIVE AMERICAN -— unlike SQUAW SPEAKING BULL (aka Liz Warren)
Well; ‘God speed’ Russel. ‘That said’; am wondering if he voted early. . .?
Russell Means was a libertarian who despised the federal government and the government-loving Indians around him. He believed in freedom as much as any conservative in freeperland. Those of you who are spouting hate towards him are greatly misguided.
RIP.
