Résumé
In 1975, Annie Mae Pictou Aquash, a 30-year-old Nova Scotia born-Mi'kmaw, was
shot dead, execution style, on a desolate road in South Dakota. Nearly three
decades later the crime remains a mystery.
Aquash was highly placed in the American Indian Movement (AIM), a
radical First Nations organization that took up arms in the 1970s to fight for
the rights of their people.
The Spirit of Annie Mae is the story of Aquash's
remarkable life and her brutal murder. It is a moving tribute from the women
who were closest to her: the two daughters who fled with their mother when she
hid from the FBI; the young women she inspired to embrace Native culture; and
the other activists, including Buffy Sainte-Marie and investigative journalist
Minnie Two Shoes, who stood in solidarity with her.
All are still trying to understand why she met such a violent death.
Follow them on their journey as they celebrate the life of a woman who
inspired a generation of First Nations people.
This title is available consumer market (individuals) and to the educational
market only (schools, colleges, universities, etc).
