Screening: Our Sacred History & White Man Lies on June 4th
"Free John Graham! Not Another Leonard Peltier!"
Between 1973 and 1976, more than 76 traditional Lakotas and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) were killed on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. These deaths were part of the F.B.I.'s "Reign of Terror", designed to destroy traditional peoples' resistance to corporate projects such as uranium mining. A free film screening and information night on Wednesday, June 4th at 7:30pm at the RCNV (515 Broadway) in Santa Cruz will include literature on John's case and related resistance movements, and will be introduced by a friend and supporter of John Graham.

Our Sacred History & White Man Lies is a new documentary film offering a unique look at the government's brutal repression of indigenous resistance to land theft. From Pine Ridge to the corrupt present-day investigation into the 1970's murder of AIM leader Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, the film reveals the history and background of many of the pawns and players that are setting up former AIM members for her murder.

John Graham was arrested in Canada in December 2003 and charged with the 1975 murder of his friend and comrade in AIM, Anna Mae Pictou Aquash. When Anna Mae was found murdered on Pine Ridge, authorities attempted to conceal her identity and cause of death. Now, 30 years late, the US government has once again fabricated a case based on flimsy testimony, framing former AIM members for her murder. In 2007, John Graham was extradited to South Dakota, and is in prison awaiting trial for September 2008. If convicted, he faces life in prison without parole. imc_pdf.gif Read More and Download a Flyer
