"My eyes drift like a death walk.
Back into the heartbeat of a Pacific Northwest audience. An event myself and local activists organized: “Apartheid in America”.
One night that late winter weekend International Treaty Council person Tom LaBlanc brought an 8mm flick up from San Francisco. It was called “Brave Hearted Woman” and there I heard Annie Mae’s name.
Saw her death in the eyes of all of us, like headlights on an Oregon highway which Robert
Robideau still claims “did her in. That November (1975) bust here in Oregon was her death sentence, antoinette”. " read complete piece

Journalistic Civil Rights and the Trial of John Graham
"civil rights of writers are very important in these times of Patriot Act realities. Currently I am stepping into a simple, important process of protecting our rights while adhering to/learning about the new "laws of the land". All this in regards to events in Indian Country, ie the upcoming trial of John Graham, extradited from Canada to the U.S. in Dec. 2007 for the murder of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash. I believe media rights will be part of our new landscape...a textured fight or a raging river, undammed. EIther way, we'll witness and create like emdangered osprey in the reeds of summer's heat..."

...poetry a
lifeboat dropped from her. titanic. "the lost works of Louise Bryant
a work in progress
"collecting voices was her passion.
by antoinette
The Watersongs Project
compiling the lost works of
Louise Bryant (1885-1936)
"He would tell me the water was full of songs"
--Louise Bryant about Jack Reed
circa Oct. 1920
"....Like small pox in blankets in acts of genocide, boarding schools are where John Graham and his sisters were sent. In Canada. Not unlike anything happening in the States. During the 1950s and 60’s. And then the Bellecourt brothers and Dennis Banks emerge and create a movement-- AIM. John Graham found his way into the scene while looking for his lost sister. “She was sent to the states somewhere. Taken from our family” he explained to some of us. That chilled night in Vancouver, B.C. while awaiting the first of many verdicts regarding his extradition to the United States.
Graham found his sister. In the mid 1970's.
And then. He met Anne Mae Pictou Aquash (1945-1975/6?). And on the night of Dec. 6, 2007 in a caper more like a drug deal by Yale drop-out rookies, John Graham was “smuggled” over the Canadian border and handed over to U.S Marshalls. Like a Sitting Bull saga gone bad. Sent to the States on a charge of the murder of Anna Mae. .."
