Wichtiger Nachsatz zu den Nachrufen :
" “There is still a lot of injustice in Indian Country and the American Indian Movement
can still be a leader in the fight for justice.
We are too few in numbers and not politically relevant enough to believe that
we can bring about positive change through violent means.
But I advise you younger folks to learn the true history of AIM.
There was a lot of good, but there was also a lot of bad that came out of the movement.
Knowing which to follow and which to believe is now extremely important.
s history has taught us; violence begets violence!
Gandhi and King changed history through peaceful means and we should follow suit.
May the spirit of Dennis Banks find peace.“
