I was fortunate to be at Wounded Knee in 1973 and onward through the trials of Dennis Banks and Russell Means in Minneapolis.
This book is the truth of what happened and the wonders (spirits and spiritual events) that occompanied the liberation of Wounded Knee. The stories told in this book capture the event more than any book I have read relating to an event like this. I had the fortune to work with all of these people and was inside Wounded Knee during the liberation. My picture is located on page 73 (I am on the left sweeping the clinic).
Gladys Bissonette, Ellen Moves Camp, Lou Bean, and many other women were the strength many times that helped us all to go forward. Many a time we dealt with death (Pedro Bissonnette) in very dangerous situations but their strength, dedication, and love never stopped.
Sarah Thunder Hawk and a medicine man by the name of Hard Heart were instrumental in helping me undrstand why I must stay and help even though egos within the Wounded Knee Legal Defense/ Offense Committee were more interested in themselves that the struggle at hand.
This struggle and the people I worked with changed my life forever and since that time I have continued working to ensure that all people are recognized and that the idea that we all are inter-connected is known.
Please read this book and see the strength, the compassion, the love, the idea that people who had nothing could for a brief time create a situation in which thier lifes were exposed to the world, as well as why things needed to be changed.
Thank you.
