<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 80458, member: 44"]I just now read this thread and am finding it very interesting with Cheryl mentioning Russell Means and Terry saying Walter was Russell's father! Russell Means sounded familiar, but couldn't remember from where. After googling the name found Cheryl and Terry already knew who Russell Means was, the noted activist and actor. He was Chingachgook in the movie The <i>Last of the Mohicans</i> and his autobiography was <i>Where White Men Fear to Tread</i>! He was an active member of AIM (American Indian Movement) rising to a leadership role. He was involved and instrumental in protests of the treatment of Native Americans in such activities as the 1969 Alcatraz Occupation (his father Walter Means, of this 1937 yearbook, had led an occupation there a few years earlier), 1970 Thanksgiving take over of the <i>Mayflower II</i>, 1971 takeover of Mt. Rushmore, and the list goes on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is Walter "Hank" Means grave:</p><p><a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34765516" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34765516" rel="nofollow">http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34765516</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This article about Russell Means speaks of his father Walter "Hank" Means:</p><p><a href="http://www.historyandtheheadlines.abc-clio.com/contentpages/ContentPage.aspx?entryId=1171937&currentSection=1161468&productid=5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.historyandtheheadlines.abc-clio.com/contentpages/ContentPage.aspx?entryId=1171937&currentSection=1161468&productid=5" rel="nofollow">http://www.historyandtheheadlines.abc-clio.com/contentpages/ContentPage.aspx?entryId=1171937&currentSection=1161468&productid=5</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I've driven through parts of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation about 20 years ago while doing the Black Hills, Mt.
