Response to Tim Giago’s AIM/Wounded Knee column
By Johnny Flynn
Mr. Giago would have you believe that the American Indian Movement is solely responsible for all the ills of the Pine Ridge Reservation for the past thirty-five years. It is one thing to critique the motives and effects of any particular event, group, or individual. It is quite another to engage in criticism using hyperbole and exaggeration in order to seek support for your end of the political spectrum. I am not from Pine Ridge, not Oglala, but I was on the reservation for some time before the events that led to WK II, during and after. The failure of the US Government to redress the grievances of the Lakota people over the theft of land and resources from the 1870s forward is a more likely suspect for the continuing poverty on Pine Ridge. |
