Scope and content
This file has copies of articles from two newspapers, The Native People, and Wawatay News, from 1978 regarding the book, "The Life and Death of Anna Mae Aquash" by Joanna Brand. Anna Mae Aquash was a Canadian victim in the conflict between the FBI, the RCMP, and the American Indian Movement. Her body was discovered in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in February 1976. It was confirmed that she was killed by a bullet fired execution-style into the back of her head. Aquash grew up on Micmac reserves in Nova Scotia, and was a strong-minded activist in many Indian Organizations. She took part in the occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota in 1973. Author Johanna Brand spent a year learning about Anna Mae and researching the circumstances surrounding her death.
