Folks on the list --
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Annie Mae Aquash a MicMac woman? (I've
probably spelled her name incorrectly; I apologize. I've heard it said,
but haven't seen it spelled.)
Cari-
Annie Mae was active in the struggle on Pine Ridge, 20-odd years ago. She
was a very courageous person, a leader, and was found dead, murdered,
probably in response to her courageous activism. She may not be a
relative of yours, but then again.... If she is, she certainly would be a
courageous, intelligent, and important relative to know about. There is a
film about her life; probably AIM or the Indian Treaty Council (here in San
Francisco) could tell you how to find it. - Mary Carol
