Means testified today in federal court in Sioux Falls about Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash. Her body was found in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Means says members of the American Indian Movement and the F-B-I ordered her death. Both groups deny that. After telling the grand jury what he knew about the case, Means planned to go to the Sioux Falls offices of Democrats Tom Daschle and Tim Johnson. He says he wants them to re-open an investigation from the 1970s into an alleged covert government operation that spied on certain groups. Means says the operation may have had something to do with Aquash's death. ************************************************************************** http://www.fox7.blackhills.com/news2.htm AIM leader testifies in 1975 murder case Indian activist Russell Means is trying to get the case of Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash reopened.

Means testified today before a federal grand jury about the 1976 death of American Indian Movement member Anna Mae Aquash. Means says an AIM leader, who was an FBI informant, ordered Aquash shot to death. Means says, "it's standard procedure for law enforcement in this country to arrest all suspects and then make deals and they find out the sources and all of that, no one's been arrested!"
