Area groups express
support for Sioux
Carl McClain of the United Indian Action Center in Portland told
newsmen that “things are going to get a lot worse at Wounded Knee.,
the people there are completely willing to shoot it out” with the
federal officers encircling the Indians encamped there.
At a press conference sponsored jointly by the Campus Radical
Union, the Oregon Prisoner Coalition and the Native American
Student Union, representatives announced their “unequivocal sup
port” for the Sioux Indians holding Wounded Knee—the site of a
massacre by U S. Army troops 83 years ago.
The group called for a re-negotiation by Native Americans of all
treaties between the government and the Indian nation and asked for
Congressional and United Nations investigations into the plight of the
Native American. The representatives also called for the removal of
all federal officers from the area around Wounded Knee.
The group announced its intention to collect food, clothing and
medical supplies to be taken to Wounded Knee by a caravan leaving
Eugene today at 4 p.m.
McClain said that an “Indian problem in South Dakota is an In
dian problem in Oregon” and that although Native Americans were
here before the Whites “the Bureau of Indian Affairs denies us the
right to negotiate our own property.”
Another Native American from Portland echoed McClain’s
concern saying that “there is more concern about what’s going on over
in Vietnam than what’s happening here in the United States.”
When asked by one of the representatives from Portland why
more Native Americans from Eugene weren’t present, one of the
spokesmen for the Eugene Liberation Support Movement said most of
the Native American students “were afraid of reprisals from the
administration.”
