NCC mediators arrive at Pine Ridge church for Wounded Knee talks
A group of about 40 mainly young people arrived at Holy Cross Episcopal Church on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to support mediation between militant Indians and federal officials over the Wounded Knee confrontation. National Council of Churches mediators help arrange talks and deliver limited food and medicine, while some local clergy oppose NCC involvement and a council resolution seeks their ouster.
