Native American activist Dennis Banks dies at age 80
By STEVE KARNOWSKI
Associated Press
Dennis Banks, who helped found
the American Indian Movement and
engaged in sometimes-violent uprisings
against the U.S. government, including
the armed occupation of Wounded
Knee in 1973, died at age 80, his family
announced Monday.
Banks, whose Ojibwe name was
Nowacumig, was one of several activists
who founded AIM in Minneapolis in
1968, and he was a leader of the group’s
takeover of Wounded Knee on the Pine
Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in
1973, in a protest against both the U.S.
and tribal governments. The village
had been the site of a massacre by U.S.
soldiers in 1890 that left an estimated 300
Indians dead. The occupiers held federal
agents at bay for 71 days; two Native
Americans died and several agents were
injured amid the frequent gunfire.
Banks died Sunday night at the
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota,
surrounded by about 30 people, including
siblings, children and grandchildren,
said daughter Tashina Banks Rama. He
had heart surgery earlier this month and
was in high spirits until pneumonia he
had contracted after the surgery took a
turn for the worse on Friday, she said.
“Dennis Banks is somebody who had
an indelible impact on history, not just in
our native community but throughout our
country,” said Anton Treuer, a professor
of the Ojibwe language at Bemidji State
University, citing how he demanded that
the powerful take notice of American
Indian concerns. “He was someone who
was both loved and hated — depending
on what circle you’re looking at.”
Banks and fellow AIM leader Russell
Means faced charges stemming from
the Wounded Knee occupation, but a
judge threw out the case. However,
Banks spent 18 months in prison in the
1980s after being convicted for rioting
and assault for a protest in Custer, South
Dakota, earlier in 1973. He avoided
prosecution on those charges for several
years because California Gov. Jerry
Brown refused to extradite him, and the
Onondaga Nation in New York gave
him sanctuary.
Banks also helped lead a takeover
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs offices
in Washington, D.C., in 1972 as part of
a protest dubbed “The Trail of Broken
Treaties.” And he was a participant
in the 1969-71 occupation by Native
Americans of Alcatraz Island, the site of

the former prison in San Francisco Bay.
Banks’ family wrote on his Facebook
page that as he took his last breaths, son
Minoh Banks sang him four songs for
his journey.
“All the family who were present
prayed over him and said our individual
goodbyes,” the family said. “Then we
proudly sang him the AIM song as his
final send off.”
Banks lived near the town of Federal
Dam on the Leech Lake Reservation in
northern Minnesota and was a member
of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe,
one of the many bands of Ojibwe, also
known as the Chippewa or Anishinaabe,
living in North America. In the late
1990s, Banks founded a company that
sold wild rice and maple syrup, trading
on his famous name.
He was part of a group of AIM
supporters who returned to Wounded
Knee in 2003 to mark the 30th anniver-
sary of the standoff. Banks paid tribute
to the dead as “warriors” and declared it
“a national holiday.” He was also there
in 1998 for the 25th anniversary.
In 2010, Banks joined several other
Ojibwe from the Leech Lake and White
Earth bands who tested their rights
under an 1855 treaty by setting out nets
illegally on Lake Bemidji a day before
Minnesota’s fishing season opener.
He also went to the Standing Rock
Reservation in North Dakota to join last
year’s protests of the Dakota Access oil
pipeline.
Treuer said Banks is remembered
in the Native American community not
just for his work in the rise of AIM, but
for his efforts on the local level, such as
focusing attention on racial disparities
in the justice system, housing for Native
Americans, treaty rights and teaching
traditional ways to young people.
Rama said the family plans to hold
wakes Wednesday evening at the
Minneapolis American Indian Center,
and Thursday and Friday on Leech Lake
Reservation. Banks will be buried on
the reservation in a traditional ceremony
Saturday.
Banks is survived by 20 children and
more than 100 grandchildren, she said.
