Indeed, Russel is an instrumental figure in the movement and quite deservedly so!He got it started for me. True AIM existed before people like Means and Banks, but they more or less got it jumping. We exchanged letters once, long before the internet.
It's awesome that you got to have such a correspondence.
Indeed... but (and no disrespect) I believe I'm younger than you... and "Native American" was just the term I grew up hearing most often. That and "First Nations".It really don't matter if one calls his or herself Native American or not, but often the term bespeaks of what we and our cultures are called by non-Indians.
And then there's the New Age gurus applying that term in their dealings.
It is ultimately up to us to define ourselves.
And I totally respect that.I'm good with American Indian.
