Unless someone here has did a bit of translating that I'm not aware of, or else some game is being played.

Oh, sorry, that was a misunderstanding. You wrote 'was' and that is the german word for 'what' - but you meant was like in not anymore. Right, I am divorced, unfortunately. I am german, that's why I got that in my mind.

Sitting Bull, outside his own house, incited his followers to attack the police and their constituted authority in order to prevent his arrest. It got him killed. As a guess, Lt. Henry Bullhead's mindset was that he was given no choice. |

I have a unique perspective of Russ.
Before Russ got involved in activism, he and his family lived in Albuquerque. He and his family would come to our house and vise versa to eat and visit. His children from his first wife Betty, Michelle and Scott were the same age as my brother and sister so they played while our mothers visited. My dad and Russ hung around together. Russ's dad and my grandpa would visit for days on end drinking wakalapi (coffee) because they could understand each other's language (Lakota and Dakota). Sometimes they would pull out their pipes and smoke kinikinik together. This was comforting being so far from home in an urban setting. Since my grandpa and I were best friends, I would sit and listen to their conversations and learn a lot in the process. Russ was a part of powwow when it first began in the Southwest portion of the United States. I even have a photograph of Russ fancy dancing back then! Then he moved away and became involved with the American Indian Movement. When he came to town he would stay with my parents and was very respectful to them. He even asked them permission to give me AIM bumper stickers and t-shirts. As time passed, he became a different person. I heard stories of a Russ I didn't know, but when I seen him, he would still put his arm around me and call me by my first name. I may not of agreed with some things he said and did, but I did look up to him at one time. RIP Russ.
