October 4 (Sunday): Film on Wounded Knee, Native Music, Discussion in Huntington

In the Beginning… the Sioux and the Kicha were among the First Voices raised on the two great masses of earth surrounded by sky and water… And then from across the great water men with guns came and seized their lands... And invented new names for them: Indians, Native Americans, the first Americans... they had their own names.

Wounded Knee 2009 Sundance Film Festival
Stanley Nelson’s award winning documentary Wounded Knee records the 1973 armed
occupation of the Pine Ridge reservation led by the AIM (American Indian Movement).

Occupying the site of Wounded Knee they cut off access and took up defensive
positions. The film records the 71 day armed stand-off with the FBI. AIM sought a redress of broken treaties (the US broke every signed treaty) and the ouster of Dick Wilson, Pine Ridge’s corrupt tribal leader. Nelson’s film records the story from the inside, not the outside: AIM leaders Russell Means, John Trudell and Dennis Banks were the spokespersons for all their people trapped in poverty on reservations. The uprising received daily attention from themajor media. (USA, 2009, 74 min.).

Southampton to Preserve Native Burial Site in Water Mill


At Tuesday evening's Southampton Town Board meeting the Town Trustees  approved purchase of 9.3 water front acres in Water Mill for over  4 million dollars with money from the town's Community Preservation Fund.

The land bordered by Mecox Bay and Montauk Highway is a known site of a Native American fishing village and contains an ancient burial ground.  A 1000 year old human skull was unearthed at the site in 2006 during construction activities for a planned development.  

The Inter-Tribal Historic Preservation Task Force, comprised of members of Long Island and New England tribes, had campaigned for the purchase of this land from the owner Gregory Konner.
