"What happened at the Pine Ridge reservation three decades ago was a uniquely American tragedy, and the murder of Anna Mae was only one part of it. In February 1973, about 200 militant young Indians seized the tiny village of Wounded Knee....Their mission: to draw attention to the desperate plight of their people and protest the oppressive regime of the tribal chairman." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article examines the 1970's American Indian Movement and the events surrounding the murder of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash, a young woman devoted to American Indian rights who became the victim of FBI and American Indian suspicions.
