[Indigsol] John Graham RECHARGED!!

[Lia Tarachansky]

Hi Mary,
That's a very valid concern.  What happened to John Graham is not only
erased by mainstream history, it's mostly forgotten in the alternative
history as well.  It is largely why the major achievements of the American
Indian Movement are often left buried alongside those that were killed.
I highly recommend you read up on the background (

Cheers
Lia
