Carter Camp at Wounded Knee in 1973 [8 photos] Carter Camp was the leader of the military action for the take over of Wounded Knee in 1973. These are screen shots of the PBS documentary Not my photos, scooped from PBS doc promo: We Shall Remain, Wounded Knee



This is a excellent PBS doc (80 minutes) about the Wounded Knee take over on the Pine Ridge reservation in 1973, We Shall Remain, Wounded Knee, Episode 5. (H/T exmearden) It features Kossack cacamp, Carter Camp (one of the original AIM organizers; Military Action) throughout and gives an important history lesson about the people, AIM and the struggle that continues today to retain the culture. (Our own Meteor Blades spent 51 of the 71 days of occupation inside with Carter Camp and the rest of AIM.) It's great to see images of Carter as a young warrior and now an elder in his tribe.

In 1973, American Indian Movement activists and residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation occupied the town of Wounded Knee, demanding redress for grievances. As a result of the siege, Indians across the country forged a new path into the future.
