Niagara
Falls, NY - The 14th Annual Native American Music Awards will be
inducting the late American Indian activist, actor, and musician,
Russell Means, into the NAMA Hall of Fame on May 10, 2013 at the Seneca
Niagara Hotel & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York.
The NY Times described him as, "the charismatic Oglala Sioux who helped revive the warrior image of the American Indian in the 1970s with protests that called attention to the nation’s history of injustices against its indigenous peoples". The LA Times called him, “the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.” Means is remembered as an “Oglala Lakota patriot and freedom fighter” by his family.
An inspirational visionary, Russell Means, passed away in October of 2012 at his ranch in Porcupine, South Dakota at the age of 72. He will remain one of the most magnetic voices in America. His vision was to create peaceful and positive images celebrating the magic and mystery of his American Indian heritage. He was committed to educating all people about the preservation of the earth. He encompassed tremendous character and ability in multiple mediums on all fronts; whether as a co-founder of A.I.M., leading a protest, fighting for constitutional rights, starring in a motion picture, or performing his "Rap-ajo" music.
As a musician, Means released two national recordings, the 16 track Electric Warrior, on Warrior Records in 1993, and The Radical, released on the American Indian Music Company, Inc., in 1995. He described his music as a Tribal Experience that included all genres of music; Classical, Country & Western Rock-n-Roll, Hard Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz and the Blues. He called his own music and words, Rap-ajo because he said, “It’s my version of Rap”.
Means entered the entertainment business in both film and music to try to change mainstream attitudes toward American Indians. His recordings contained songs entitled, “Nuclear World”, “Paha Sapa”, “Wounded Knee Set Us Free”, “Chief Joseph”, “Consipiracy To Be Free” and more. These recordings preserve the life and legacy of Russell Means through music and spoken word and are a reminder of his courage, inspiration and teachings now left behind for us.
His wife Pearl Means will be present to receive the Hall of Fame Induction. A musical tribute, accompanied by images of Means throughout his life, will be performed by Native American Music Award winner CC Murdock. CC Murdock, who won Best Country Recording in 2011, will be performing the song, Go Rest High On That Mountain. During his final journey, the ashes of Russell Means were spread at Yellow Thunder Camp in the Black Hills.
Copies of Russell Means’ CD recordings will be available at the 14th Annual Native American Music Awards and at: http://www.russellmeans.com

Falls, NY - Op 10 mei 2013 zal Russell Means ,Amerikaans Indiaanse activist,
acteur en muzikant ingehuldigd worden op de 14de jaarlijkse NAMA
Hall of Fame , dat plaats heeft in het Seneca Niagara Hotel & casino in
Niagara Falls, New York.
De
New York Times beschrijft hem als :
“ de charismatische Oglala Sioux die in de jaren 1970 het
beeld van de Indiaanse krijger deed heropleven met protesten die de aandacht
vestigden op de onrechtvaardigheden tegen inheemse naties.”
De
LA Times noemde hem : “de beroemdste
Amerikaanse Indiaan sinds Sitting Bull en Crazy Horse”.
Zijn
familie kende hem als : “ Een Oglala
patriot en vrijheidstrijder”.
Russell
Means, een inspirerende visionair, overleed in oktober 2012 in zijn ranch in
Porcupine,Zuid Dakota op de leeftijd van 72 jaar.
Hij
zal steeds een van de meest boeiende stemmen in Amerika blijven .
Zijn
visioen was om vredevolle en positieve voorstellingen te creëren om de magie en
het mysterie van zijn Indiaanse afkomst te vieren.
Hij
wijdde zich aan het bewustmaken van het belang voor het beschermen van de aarde.
Hij
heeft een geweldige rol gespeeld in meerdere media op alle fronten; als
medeoprichter van AIM , protestleider, in destrijd voor grondwettelijke
rechten, als acteur of met zijn Rap-ajo muziek.
Als
muzikant heeft Means twee nationale opnamen gerealiseerd,Electric Warrior, 16 track bij Warrior Records in 1993, en The Radical, uitgegeven door The
American Indian Music Compay in 1995.
Hij
beschreef zijn muziek als een tribale ervaring die alle genres omvat; klassiek,
Country & Western Rock-n-Roll, Hard Rock, Hip Hop,R&B,Jazz en Blues.
Hij
noemde zijn eigen muziek en woorden Rap-ajo
omdat zoals hij zei "het zijn versie van Rap was."
Means
trad binnen in de entertainment business, zowel in films als in de muziek om te
proberen de heersende houding tegenover Amerikaanse Indianen te veranderen.
Zijn
opnamen bevatten liederen met titels: “Nuclear
World”,”Paha Sapa”,Wounded Knee Set us Free, “Chief Joseph”, “Conspiracy To Be
Free” en meer.
Deze
opnamen houden het leven en de erfenis van Russel Means vast . Zijn muziek en zijn gesproken
woorden herinneren ons aan zijn
moed, en inspiratie die hij voor ons heeft achtergelaten

vrouw Pearl Means zal bij de inhuldiging aanwezig zijn. Een muzikaal tribuut
zal gebracht worden door de Native Amerikaanse muziekprijs winnaar CC Murdock.

Mountain” brengen.
