American Indian Movement (AIM) Myth Busters Appear on Montana Television
Atlanta, GA
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Joseph and John Trimbach, the AIM Myth Busters, appeared June 30 on the television show, Native View with Jenna Spotted Wolf (www.native-view.com). The show is being broadcast throughout Montana daily. (Copies available on request.)
The Trimbachs talked about their book, American Indian Mafia, An FBI Agent's True Story About Wounded Knee, Leonard Peltier, and the American Indian Movement (AIM). Much of the discussion focused on the upcoming trial of John Graham, the alleged triggerman in the 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash. Graham will go on trial October 6 of this year. The Supreme Court of Canada has stated that AIM leaders ordered Aquash's execution-style murder because they believed her to be an FBI informant. Joe Trimbach explained that Aquash was never an informant.
The show focused on the murder of Ray Robinson, a civil rights activist under Martin Luther King. Robinson, the only black male seen in Wounded Knee village during the 1973 occupation, was allegedly shot in the leg during an argument. His body is believed to be buried near the village ruins. The Trimbachs emphasized the need for justice in the Aquash and Robinson murders.
Also discussed was the falsified history of Pine Ridge and the manufactured persona of convicted killer Leonard Peltier. The Trimbachs offered as examples of doctored history Peter Matthiessen's book, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, and Robert Redford's documentary, "Incident at Oglala," both of which attempt to exonerate Peltier.
Trimbach's first-person account is the long-awaited correction to the historical record of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. American Indian Mafia blows away prevailing myths about the American Indian Movement of the 1970s and offers present-day solutions to Indian Country's most pressing issues. Earlier this year, the Trimbachs delivered an address at the Kellogg Center at Michigan State University. They are available for interviews, presentations, and seminars.
