February 2012, Len Foster talks about REAL Warriors of Wounded Knee 1973



[Moderator's note: The 40th Anniversary for one of the Great Indigenous Pride events of the 1970s, the Independent Oglala-Sioux Nation's arm defiance against U.S. colonialism, will be occurring in February 2013. This should be an important celebration ceremonies IF indigenous "America" give honor WITHOUT the idea of Indian Pride in terms of U.S. military service.]




"...On February 27th, 1973, an independent nation was declared in the tiny village of Wounded Knee on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation. For 71 days, a group of American Indian Movement (AIM) members and traditional Oglala Lakota people held ground in a shooting war against the largest internal deployment of federal forces since the Civil War..." http://www.oocities.org/lakotastudentalliance/lsa2_wk73to98JLurie.html
