  10. Wow. My bad. Russell Means died from Cancer (or the treatment of Cancer) at the age of 72, on October 22 2012. Can't believe so much time has gone by. I do hope his Treaty Schools (no child left behind) plan for educating children, mirroring the successful New Zealand Maori methods of language immersion and study of nature, are getting nurtured and funded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3IUnFq3U0Y Russell Means -- Americans Are The New Indian

    To the commenter that called herself a "Red woman". Native people are not "Red people". That is a lie taught by the same oppressor who conquered them in the Americas. These oppressors are the REAL RED people on earth that's why they call themselves "RED neck" in the American south.
