Russell Means

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the work Russell has done. I recently found out he has esophageal cancer, and want him to know he's in my thoughts and prayers.

His autobiographical book, "Where White Men Fear to Tread" is an excellent book; a must-read in my opinion.

Below is his interview with Alex Jones. (I do not care for Alex Jones, but I really like the interview.) Russell brings a lot of attention to the indigenous people who have been ignored for so long. We have a third world country right here in the U.S.---it's called the reservation, and during the next two months I will be blogging on native issues that have been ignored. Many people don't even know native peoples exist, and why we should say 'no' to Colombus (genocide) Day. I call November Native Peoples' Month, because there is no month of celebration for the native peoples. I will save the rest of my rant for later. Watch the video, and share it. Raise awareness of the problems that no one talks about.
