Reuben Snake: Hear Again (Indian Wisdom)

Reuben Snake (Winnebago) was an Indian rights activist and Peyote Roadman in the Native American Church. His leadership of the AIRFA Amendments of 1994 effort made history.

This is a collection of film and video moments of Reuben Snake speaking in a variety of contexts on various subjects during the last decade of his life (he died in ‘93).

It is hoped his wisdom, his humor, his political savvy, and his compassionate nature might guide us individually and collectively toward a respectful future for all of creation.

Reuben served as President of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), Chairman of the Tribal Council of his Winnebago Tribe, national leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM), and many other leadership roles in Indian Country over the years.
