INDEPTH:Aboriginal Canadians http://newsworld.cbc.ca/news/indepth/aboriginals/ Anna Mae Aquash, a native of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, had become a well-known Indian activist when she was killed execution-style in 1975. Her family says the man who pulled the trigger is living in Whitehorse, but no one has ever been charged. Aquash was only 30 when she was shot in the back of the head in the American Midwest. Thursday, in Ottawa, her daughter Denise made a tearful plea for Canadian pressure to finally resolve the case. Aquash had helped AIM, the American Indian Movement, in the standoff at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. Two years later, she was at the nearby Pine Ridge Reservation when two FBI agents were killed in a fight with members of AIM. Aquash was arrested on weapons charges, but later released by a judge. Several months later her body was found in the Dakota Badlands. Some people said the FBI wanted her dead, but her family says she was actually kidnapped, raped and killed by members of the Indian movement, because she knew too much about who killed the FBI agents.<<<<<end excerpt Reprinted under the Fair Use http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html doctrine of international copyright law. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Tsonkwadiyonrat (We are ONE Spirit) Unenh onhwa' Awayaton http://www.tdi.net/ishgooda/ UPDATES: CAMP JUSTICE http://shell.webbernet.net/~ishgooda/oglala/ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
