Lehman Brightman, president of United Native Americans, Inc. speaking at the AIM 40th Anniversary Reunion held in San Francisco, California in November 2008. Video by Mary Ellen Churchill.
i want to kick some white asses, too...and I am a white man! Never Forget the genocide, but it seems that no one has ever taken the responsibility for it. Makes me very angry.....
Laughed several times during Brightman's reminiscings. I'm glad there were such competant people fronting the movement duirng the 60s and 70s. I'm curious as to how the Kiowa Tribal flag was on display in the background.
the more power you gain, the more you must beware the rise of a Jean Paul Marat. or a Maximilian Robespierre. they ruined the French Revolution. with fanatical excess and internal paranoia.
Professor Brightman is totally gifted and brilliant. Indian Country owes him much in his leadership of education, and more Human and Civil rights for Indian Country.
He is the former editor of THE FIRST National Indian newspaper called Warpath, and was involved in the occupation of Alcatraz, and the Take-Over of Wounded Knee, and Led the Take-Over and Occupation of Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota in 1970. He was one of the national coordinators of the Longest Walk in 1978, and the Long Walk for Survival in 1980
Professor Brightman is the founder and National President of United Native Americans, Inc. a non-profit Indian organization formed in 1968. Mr. Brightman has testified in two U.S Senate Hearings on the deplorable conditions of Indian boarding schools and hospitals on reservations. And led investigations of seven Indian boarding schools and three Indian hospitals due to the poor service and abusive treatment of Indian people.
Women, the stone of the family.
