The Life and Death of Anna Mae Aquash: Second Edition

Anna Mae Aquash grew up in a poverty-ridden Micmac community in Nova Scotia. In her late teens she left Canada, eventually moving to Boston where she became involved in community organization. Here she met other First Nations people committed to improving their own and the lives of other aboriginal peoples. In 1973, a ten-week occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, demanded that the government deal with aboriginal issues. This protest became a symbol for North American Indian resistance. After the occupation, Aquash became active in the American Indian Movement (AIM), a civil rights group under FBI surveillance. In February 1976, Aquash’s body was found at the bottom of a cliff, with a bullet in her head. Originally published in 1978, this new edition calls for renewed efforts to identify her killers.
