Anna Mae Aquash is an icon of the Indian resistance and of government brutality and mendacity. A resister who was found dead with her hands cut off, the Bureau of Indian Affairs requested that she be buried before her identity was confirmed, the coroner ruled that she died of exposure, despite the bullet wound in her head. In a long history of government lies and misdirection and inaction, Anna Mae's death stands out.
Now, John Graham, a friend of Aquash's, and a fellow fighter with AIM (American Indian Movement) has been charged with her murder.
This pamphlet lays out background information, the case of Anna Mae, John Graham's history, a statement from Leonard Peltier, and what people are doing to reject the government's latest outrage.
