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.
