KYLE, S.D. -- The Oglala Lakota Sioux were among the last tribes to battle the U.S. cavalry, and their vast Pine Ridge reservation was ground zero in the American Indian Movement's 1970s clashes with federal agents. But proud resistance to outsiders hasn't been good for business. Here in the Badlands, economic opportunity has been as barren as the flora-thin hills. Unemployment is near 80 percent. Substance abuse is rampant.

Journalist Steve Hendricks reads from and discusses The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2006) at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Garcia Street Books. The author's first book is the product of four years of research and an ongoing lawsuit against the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act. Based on thousands of interviews and documents, the book reads like a spy novel of conspiracies, murder, and courtroom drama. It documents a covert FBI operation against American Indian activists on the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations in South Dakota in the 1970s. Beginning in South Dakota with the murder of American Indian Movement (AIM) activist Anna Mae Aquash, a member of the Mi'kmaq tribe of Nova Scotia, the book unravels old cover-u...

RAPID CITY, S.D. - The daughters of a slain American Indian Movement activist said Saturday they are pleased with the latest conviction in the 35-year-old murder case but remain convinced there are others who haven't been charged. Former AIM member John Graham was convicted Friday in the murder of Annie Mae Aquash in 1975 on South Dakota's Pine Ridge reservation. Her death remains synonymous with AIM and its often- violent clashes with federal agents in the 1970s.

The legendary Black Hills encompass an area about 120 miles long and between 40 and 50 miles wide. Most of this often wild and beautiful terrain lies in southwestern South Dakota. A portion is across the border in Wyoming. It's a region that has long been in deep dispute, as University of Oregon history professor Jeffrey Ostler shows in his lucid and always even-handed "The Lakotas and The Black Hills," subtitled "The Struggle for Sacred Ground.

[Meriwether Lewis] and Clark's expedition was the first government survey of natural resources in the American West, and the remarkable feats that Lewis and [William Clark] accomplished with their giddyupping troops have since inspired awe all over the country. Idahoans are lucky though, because Lewis and Clark's journey is not just a part of U.S. history; it is Idaho's history and heritage. And even though last year marked the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's trek, we still get to celebrate. In February 1979, [John Trudell] led a march in Washington D.C. to the FBI headquarters, spoke out on the FBI's war against Indians and burned an American flag. Early the next morning a fire "of suspicious origin" engulfed Trudell's home on Nevada's Shoshone-Paiute Reservation. The blaze killed hi...
