r.i.p. russell means.

Russell Means, former American Indian Movement activist, passed away last week at his ranch in Porcupine, S.D. Means helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee, ran as a Libertarian for U.S. president in 1988 and appeared in the film "The Last of the Mohicans." His honoring service included a five mile horse ride to Little Wound High School in Kyle, S.D.
