Rest in Peace John Trudell. Your days of sadness and sorrow are over now. Mitakuye Oyasin.

I remember those days on Alcatraz. A bunch of the people that took over Alcatraz ended up jailed in Martinez, Calif. and I went to the hearing at the courtroom one of the days it was going on. It left a tremendous impression on me and I had an idea that things weren't quite right for Indian people at too young of an age.

John Trudell left behind a powerful message that will never be forgotten and yes, I too am heartbroken to hear of his untimely death.
