From his wife and children

Hello our relatives. Our dad and husband, now walks among our ancestors. He began his journey to the spirit world at 4:44 am, with the Morning Star, at his home and ranch in Porcupine. There will be four opportunities for the people to honor his life, to be announced at a later date. Thank you for your prayers and continued support. We love you. As our dad and husband would always say, “May the Great Mystery continue to guide and protect the paths of you and your loved ones.”
Mitakuye Oyasin,
The wife and children of Russell Means

Rest in Peace Russell Means, co-founder of the American Indian Movement and dear friend of the Palestinian people. Russell very much wanted to join us in NYC for the hearings but was too ill to attend. Russell présenté.
