FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall http://vancouver.mediacoop.ca/blog/oshipeya/3397

Aquash was a Mi’kmaq from Nova Scotia and a skilled organizer and warrior with AIM who was targeted and threatened with death by the FBI. When her body was found on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in February of 1976, the FBI tried to cover-up her identity and true cause of death by having her buried as an unknown “Jane Doe” who had supposedly died of exposure, despite an obvious bullet hole wound to her head.

A second autopsy requested by family members revealed the murder. At the time, an FBI-supported death squad made up mostly of reservation police officers had killed some 60 members of AIM and traditional Lakota people on Pine Ridge. Other death squad murders had also been passed-off as death by exposure by the FBI’s pathologist and were not investigated.

One Pine Ridge cop and death squad member, Duane Brewer, even admitted in an interview that his fellow cop and death squad member, Paul Herman, may have killed Aquash. Herman had killed a teenage Lakota girl, Sandra Wounded Foot, in the same way, shooting her in the head and dumping her body in a remote part of the reservation. Instead of being charged with murder, Herman was charged with voluntary manslaughter and only sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing Wounded Foot. Herman was one of the cops on the scene when Aquash’s body was found.
