"Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, a young mother and American Indian activist, was shot in the head and left to die on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the winter of 1975. The trial of one of two men accused of killing her begins here [Rapid City, South Dakota] on Tuesday [Feb. 3, 2004]. Between those moments, decades apart, lies a mystery, and a bitter struggle." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article reveals that although two men have been brought to trial in connection with the murder of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, neither a clear motive nor the person or entity that ordered her death has been determined. A background of the case involving the American Indian Movement and the FBI is included.
