He really truly was a "great man". That's a phrase that gets bandied about way too much, but with him it's not really enough to describe who and what he was - nor to how many people, is it?
"I wanna be free. I want you to be free. A lot easier for me to be free, if you're free." Russell Means.
Now there's a leader worthy of mourning.

I don't know as much about NDNs as I should, but even *I* knew about Russell Means. He'll be missed, and his memory forever honored. |

He was an almost legendary figure amongst indigenous political leaders here. He spoke at many International conferences for indigenous peoples. His writings were devoured and his community activism strategies were widely adopted by a great many Australian Aboriginal and Islander Land Councils and community leaders.
I know that the local Awabakal Lands Council are having a ceremony to mark his passing and that there is real grief being felt in their ranks at his loss.
