RIP, Russell Means

Means, who, like everyone, was not even remotely a perfect person, was the cornerstone of the American Indian Movement and the voice of an increasingly political and vigorous generation of Native Americans who were, really, kind of tired of putting up with all the shit.

Because for each event in our life there is an appropriate book, this might be a thoughtful time to check out Vine Deloria, Jr’s Custer Died For Your Sins.
