Judge allows evidence in AIM slaying trial of Peltier confession to shooting FBI agents
User Rating: / 2
By Dave Kolpack
Rapid City, South Dakota (AP) August 2010

leonard.jpgA judge says an alleged murder confession and threat by American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier should be introduced as evidence in a decades-old South Dakota murder case, but won’t allow a note that prosecutors described as an execution order.

John Graham and Thelma Rios are scheduled for trial in state court later this year on charges they participated in the killing of fellow AIM member Annie Mae Aquash on the Pine Ridge reservation in 1975. Prosecutors believe AIM leaders ordered the 30-year-old Aquash killed because they thought she was a government informant.

Loretha (Rising Sun) Grinsell is fluent in a language few people understand, a language without spoken words.

Grinsell, who is deaf, grew up on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation using Plains Indian sign language to communicate with her foster grandmother.

She relied exclusively on “hand talk” until she went to school at age 9 and learned the more commonly used American Sign Language.

Green Bay, Wisconsin (AP) August 2010

chequamegon_nf.jpgFederal prosecutors believe a single drug organization is behind several marijuana farms that were raided by authorities in a national forest in northeast Wisconsin.

Eight men were arrested and charged Aug. 11 just hours after more than 200 federal, state and local law enforcement agents raided growing plots scattered across the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Investigators also searched a house that they said had been transformed into a marijuana processing plant complete with a cache of guns.

Federal authorities start discussion on Indian civil rights
User Rating: / 0
By Susan Montoya Bryan
Albuquerque, New Mexico (AP) August 2010

A number of civil rights violations have gone unreported in Indian Country because community members have not been told where to go with their complaints, a former government official said.
