In this episode Van of Urantia interviews Russell Means (1939 - 2012) - actor, author, activist, and one of the original members of the American Indian Movement (AIM).
Known for his roles in Last Of The Mohicans, Natural Born Killers, Pathfinder and other films, Means first passion was as an activist fighting for his people. Born on the Pine Ridge Reservation of the Oglala Sioux, which has the lowest per capita income in the country and ranks as the poorest county in the nation, Means was raised with a deep understanding of the oppression of American Indians by the U.S. government.
As the first National Director of AIM, he became one of the leaders of the 1973 Wounded Knee Occupation and standoff with the United States government. One of the most visible and outspoken activists for American Indian rights, Means led many other protests such as the occupation of Mount Rushmore and of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington D.C. and was an aggressive advocate for American Indian rights.
