Ward Churchill History of COINTELPRO and the FBI On the 26th anniversary of the firefight on the Pine Ridge reservation on June 26, 1975, the Native American professor, activist, and author Ward Churchill spoke in honor of Leonard Peltier who, it is widely agreed, was falsely convicted of having murdered two FBI agents who died that day.
This is a sweeping, fact filled and chillingly timely history of government intervention into the work of peoples and organizations that were and are considered threats to the established order. Churchill's report goes far beyond Native American issues.
The power exercised by the federal government to suppress the legitimate aspirations of the indigenous peoples who resided in what is now called the USA comes under special scrutiny. The story of internal repression has ramifications, Churchill says, even outside this country. The US has abused its ability to impose itself as a dominating force in this world and the victims of that imposition are, again, the indigenous peoples of other countries.
