=========================================

 

For Russell Means, RIP

This Sunday will be my 80th Memorial Day.  Instead of the flag-waving orgy at the Southern Baptist Church, I will honor the unsung dead; the unarmed, freezing, Lakota Sioux men, women, children, and babes in arms murdered by Hotchkiss 60 mm guns fired on December 29, 1890, by young US Army soldiers on the ridge at Wounded Knee, SD.  When I am able to drive again I will go there once again and sprinkle some tobacco to honor Chief Big Foot and the others, named and unnamed.
