2023 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Occupation of Wounded Knee which is the outcome of over 200 members of the American Indian Movement and supporters occupying Wounded Knee, Lakota Nation (South Dakota) for 71 days from February 27th, 1973, to May 8th, 1973. The Occupation of Wounded Knee was in response to a call to action for help from traditional Lakota residents whose civil, human, and Treaty of Fort Laramie rights were constantly being violated by corrupt Native American and United States government officials. The Wounded Knee Occupation resulted in a 71-day military standoff with U.S. government officials – the largest military attack in United States history, and quickly drew domestic and international support from people, organizations, and foreign governments throughout the world.
Today’s guest was a rookie NPR reporter on his first assignment, covering the entire occupation of Wounded Knee in the Lakota Nation (South Dakota) in 1973. Under a United States government media blackout prohibiting journalists to enter Wounded Knee, our guest managed to enter Wounded Knee where he spent the entire 71 days interviewing Native American activists, participating in community gatherings, and documenting what happened inside of Wounded Knee as well as recording the corrupt and militarized actions of the Guardians of the Oglala Nation (GOONs), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) and other government agencies actions.  

Join us today on American Indian Airwaves for the 50th Anniversary of the Occupation of Wounded Knee to hear Kevin McKiernan’s personal accounts and experiences during the 71-day military standoff between members of the American Indian Movement and Native American activists and the United States government, plus more. 
Guest: Kevin McKiernan, director of New Customer From Wounded Knee to Standing Rock: A Reporter's Journey (2019).

During the Red Power Movement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as part of its COINTELPRO (counterintelligence program), actively surveilled, infiltrated, and attempted to neutralize Native American activists and the American Indian Movement (AIM). With the establishment of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Indian Movement in Box Canyon, Ventura County, CA back in mid-1970s, the FBI infiltrated the Los Angeles chapter of AIM with agent provocateurs and wrongfully framed mid-level AIM activist Paul Durant Skyhorse (Anishinaabe Nation) and Richard Billings Mohawk (Tuscarora-Mohawk Nations) for the October 10th, 1974, murder of cab-driver George Aird. 

Paul Skyhorse and Richard Mohawk were arrested and what became known as the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial lasted 3½ years, cost California taxpayers $1.25 million, and both Native American peoples were incarcerated the entire time before their acquittal by a California jury on May 24th, 1978. 

Our guest for today is a long-time activist who was pivotal, instrumental, and critical in defending against various forms of injustice, including his participation in the Skyhorse Mohawk trial. As old state “agents” are starting to publically speak and publish stories about what allegedly happened, today’s guest shares with listeners his lived experiences and participation in the Skyhorse-Mohawk trial and tell us what actually happened during the turbulent times of the state violence in silencing dissent, plus more.
