Call For Action: Native American Woman Found Shot And Scalped In Kentucky (phoito and video)
Call to Action regarding the remains of native woman found in Darren County Kentucky
On 2/5/2014 a call was placed by the American Indian Movement Chapter of Indiana and Kentucky to the Louisville, Kentucky office of the F.B.I. concerning remains found in Barren County Kentucky. The remains were that of a native woman who had been shot and scalped according to the police report, the remains were found in August of 2011.
We spoke to the “Hate Crime” division and asked if they were looking into the case, as we believe this was a hate crime due to the brutality of the crime. We were told that “They could not confirm or deny” that they were involved with the case.
So we along with the Miami Valley Council for Native Americans have taken it upon ourselves to call for a “Call to Action” to get the FBI involved. We are urging everyone to call the F.B.I. offices in Louisville, Kentucky and demand that they look into the case.
To date the crime has been labeled a “Cold Case” as the identity of the woman remains a mystery. She is someone’s Mother, Daughter, or Auntie and should be buried with dignity. Someone out there knows who she is and what happened to her.
Call and Demand Action:
F.B.I. Louisville, Kentucky: (502) 263-6000
Satellite Office Bowling Green, Kentucky:
(270) 781-4734 and (270) 781-4736 — with Thomas Edward Pearce and Guy Jon

Flag of the American Indian Movement
The American Indian Movement (AIM) is a Native American activist organization in the United States, founded in 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with an agenda that focuses on spirituality, leadership, and sovereignty. The founders included Dennis Banks, George Mitchell, Herb Powless, Clyde Bellecourt, Harold Goodsky, Eddie Benton-Banai, and a number of others in the Minneapolis Native American community.[1] Russell Means, born Oglala Lakota, was an early leader in 1970s protests.
The organization was formed to address various issues concerning the Native American urban community in Minneapolis, including poverty, housing, treaty issues, and police harassment.[2] From its beginnings in Minnesota, AIM soon attracted members from across the United States and Canada. It participated in the Rainbow Coalition organized by the civil rights activist Fred Hampton. Charles Deegan Sr. was involved with the AIM Patrol.
In October 1971, AIM gathered members from across the country to a protest in Washington, D.C. known as the “Trail of Broken Treaties“. AIM gained national attention when it seized the Bureau of Indian Affairs national headquarters and presented a 20-point list of demands to the federal government. In 1973, it led a 71-day armed standoff with federal forces at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
In the decades since AIM’s founding, the group has led protests advocating indigenous American interests, inspired cultural renewal, monitored police activities, and coordinated employment programs in cities and in rural reservation communities across the United States. AIM has often supported indigenous interests outside the United States as well. By 1993, AIM had split into two main factions, with the AIM-Grand Governing Council based in Minneapolis and affirming its right to use the name and trademarks for affiliated chapters.
