Wikipedia writes: "Trudell is the son of a Santee Sioux father and a Mexican mother. He grew up around the Santee reservation near Omaha. He joined the Navy in 1963 and served in the Vietnam war. After getting out of the military he became involved in Indian activism and became the spokesperson for the Indians of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz Island. He joined the American Indian Movement and, although not officially voted in, was its national Chairman from 1972 until 1979 after Carter Camp went to jail. In 1979, his mother-in-law, pregnant wife (Tina Manning), and three children were killed in a tragic fire, an event that led him to his "hanging on lines", his spoken word. It is famously believed that his family was murdered by the government. A meeting with Jackson Browne in 1979 introduced him to the musical world. His first album, originally made with brilliant (according to Bob Dylan) Kiowa guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and originally available only on cassette tape, was A.K.A Graffiti Man. In 1992 he remade A.K.A Graffiti Man; more recent endeavors include Blue Indians (1999) and Bone Days."

  • what how do u even stell a video i show a lot of love and put some on my playlist and favs

  • Eric, perhaps you did not mean to take Jims video and his credit away. Please save it as a favorite or playlist but allow the maker to get credit for it.

  • xonahuia, he is not making a scene. He has every right to be up tight about his work being claimed by another.

  • It is not a good thing to steal a persons video. Yes save it as a log or playlist or favorite but do not claim it as your own work. It belongs to btltez. This I know.

  • instead of making a scene here, report it to the owners of youtube so they can sort this out

  • um...hi...this is MY video...do you think you should be stealing videos and making them your own?? and hijacking my views?? please take it off here and add it to your favorites instead.
