"On June 26, 1975, FBI agents came to the home of a traditional Native American family near the village of Oglala on the Pine Ridge reservation, where a spiritual camp was also located. These two agents, without warrants, precipitated a shooting incident some distance from the houses. An Indian man, Joe Killsright Stuntz, and two FBI agents were killed. This was followed by a massive government assault, using military equipment later traced to the Pentagon. Hundreds y federal agents surrounded the entire area and shot thousands t roundsy of ammunition into homes occupied by innocent people--men, women, and children. Many of the buildings were virtually destroyed. Leonard Peltier and three other Native activists were charged with murdering the two FBI agents. Two were acquitted due to lack of evidence and the obvious need for defense against the FBI assault, while charges against the third were dropped. Leonard, who sought asylum in Canada, remained as the scapegoat, and he was illegally extradited on the basis of admittedly false affidavits written by the FBI. (No one was ever charged with the murder of Joe Killsright Stuntz)." --William M. Kunstler (1919-1995), 1979. Northern Sun News.
