As light rain was falling this morning, Annie came to mind. Annie, her daughters and family, Ray Robinson, his family, and the countless others. All victimized during the siege on Wounded Knee 1973.
So many bodies there, unclaimed, ready to be taken home.
“Perry Ray Robinson Jr., more commonly know as Ray Robinson was shot and killed inside Wounded Knee, South Dakota in 1973 during the occupation by the American Indian Movement. Ray was last seen being confronted by AIM security during April of 1973, including (names alleged so far) Leonard Crow Dog, Carter Camp, Dennis Banks, Frank Blackhorse, Stan Holder, Harry David Hill, Clyde Bellecourt and others in a Wounded Knee bunker after an argument ensued over the oatmeal he was eating. Leonard Crow Dog led the group with a leg table or other wooden weapon of some kind. After entering the bunker to confront Robinson, one member of the group shot Robinson in the knee and he was then dragged outside, beaten and taken to the Wounded Knee Medical Clinic overseen by Madonna Gilbert Thunderhawk and Lorelie Decora Means and several other volunteer nurses and medics including several non-Indians, shoved into a closet where he bled to death.
In correspondence with AIM members, Carter Camp notes that he left Ray in Eagle Bunker after he had been shot in both legs.
Many witnesses to this event have been afraid to come forward, and several of those involved and named above were also involved with the 1975 execution of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash murdered in part, because of her knowledge of the Robinson murder. If you have information on the death of Ray Robinson please contact the office of South Dakota State Attorney General Marty Jackley at (605) 773-3331 or email at [email protected]
Annie’s daughter, Denise Pictou Maloney stated on June 21, 2013,
” It was 9 years ago today that our family brought my mother back home to Mikmagi. 29 years after she was betrayed, kidnapped, beaten , interrogated, raped and murdered by AIM members John Graham, Arlo Looking Cloud and Theda Nelson Clark.
Four trials with 23 witnesses that resulted in two convictions, one guilty plea and one acquittal have proven what our family had suspected and many within AIM already knew, that at least a half dozen individuals within the AIM leadership conspired and ordered to have my mother executed. To this day the leadership of AIM and Leonard Peltier refuse to address my mothers murder and are currently publically supporting my mothers murderers. It doesn’t matter how many times they reinvent themselves, rename themselves or hide behind the skirts of our grandmothers or their own children the truth will never be changed.”
The Leonard Peltier propaganda machine has been in full swing, trying to raise money and free him from prison. He is where he belongs. He is a psychopathic killer who unashamedly admitted to murdering 2 FBI agents in cold blood.
Agents who were only there to serve a warrant, not for a war.
The reservation was put under seige by the elements of Russell Means( accused of raping multiple underage girls and arrested for beating his 73 year old father-in-law) Dennis Banks, (Pedophile) David Hill or Mr. X, the trigger man who shot Annie Mae in the back of the head..
These are not warriors or heroes. They are petty criminals who have pillaged and raped 3 generations of native people.
