Trials tied to Wounded Knee sit ins move through Cedar Rapids court
The record traces how a 1973 siege at Wounded Knee linked with western Iowa land disputes reached U.S. District Judge Edward J. McManus in Cedar Rapids. Trials of AIM leaders Means and Banks, and later Crow Dog Holder and Camp, shifted through pretrial rulings, land-claim injunctions, and subsequent indictments, spurring protests and media attention before verdicts and enduring tribal land debates into the 1990s.
