“I would say that John Graham has seen the last of his days in Canada. Justice will have arrived at its half way mark when his trial is concluded.” --Robert Robideau, Anishanabe (Turtle Mountain and White Earth)

"....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. .."
