Simnasho water progress The five-and-one-half mile water line from Highway 26 area to Simnasho is complete. Work is now progressing on the 94,000-gallon surge tank, and the chemical build ing aspects of the Simnasho w ater p ro ject, said Travis Wells, tribal engineer. The system should be op erational for the Simnasho- Schoolie Flat residents in thé spring time, Wells said. F o r Several years the Simnasho-Schoolie Flat water; system has tested high for the; presence o f arsenic, which isj a health risk and can cause; cancer. Residents received drink-; ing w ater through the H2oi company. T his was an ex-; pense o f about $50,000 per! year for the tribes. Funding for the waterline; project was achieved through a combination o f tribal and federal dollars. Arounct Inchon C ou ntry Carter Camp, Native activist, dies at 72 OKLAHOM A CITY (AP) - Carter Camp, a one- time activist with the American Indian Movement who was a leader in the Wounded Knee occupation in South Dakota, has died in Oklahoma. H e was 72. Camp’s sister, Casey Camp-Horinek, said he died Dec. 27 surrounded by family in W hite Eagle, Okla homa. Camp-Horinek said her brother had been suf fering from cancer for the past year. Services for Camp were held Tuesday. Camp, a member o f the Ponca Tribe o f Oklahoma, was a m em ber o f the American Indian M ovement, organizing more than 30 chapters in his hom e state of Oklahoma, Camp-Horinek said. The American Indian Movement was founded in the late 1960s, to protest the U.S. governm ent’s treat m ent o f Native Americans and demand that the gov ernm ent honor its treaties with Indian tribes. He had a leading role in the Trail o f Broken Trea ties in 1972, in which a caravan o f Native American activists drove across the country to Washington, D.C,, to protest treaties between tribes and the federal gov ernment. They took over the Bureau o f Indian Af fairs for several days. The following year, Carter headed to South D a kota with other AIM leaders, including Russell Means and Dennis Banks. There they organized the Wounded K nee uprising, a 71-day siege that included several gunbattles with federal officers. Means died in 2012 at age 72. “H e was the only person in (a) leadership position in Wounded K nee who never left Wounded Knee, not to go out and do press junkets, not to go and sit in a hotel for a while. N one o f that. H e was a war leader there. H e stayed inside w ith his w arriors,” Camp- H orinek said o f her brother. While several people in leadership roles w ent on trial for events that took place at Wounded Knee, Camp was the only one to ever serve time. H e spent two years in prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, for assaulting a postal inspector, a charge Camp-Horinkek disputes. Camp later left the organization. In recent years, Camp's focus turned to the Key stone XL pipeline, which he bitterly opposed. Once completed, the contested pipeline would carry tar sands oil from Canada down the midsection o f the country and into Texas. T h o u g h Cam p was n o tified nearly a year ago th a t he had only a few m o n th s to live due to the can cer th a t had m etastasized in to his lungs, k id ney and liver, C am p -H o rin ek said h er b ro th e r’s stren g th o f spirit allow ed him to take p a rt in a sun dance, a sacred religious cerem ony, in S outh D ak o ta last sum m er. Camp will be remembered as a warrior, a spiritual leader and a kind family man, Camp-Horinkek, 65, said. “As a sister, w hat I rem em ber is kindness, a big brother who sat on the porch and read the Sunday papers... who made popcorn and fudge and had an arm around my shoulders— in the physical sense and the other sense o f always being there for me,” she said.
