Indian Leader Is Middleman At Wounded Knee Siege
Richard Wilson, elected leader of the 11,000 Oglala Sioux on Pine Ridge, has been the middleman in the Wounded Knee siege. He faces verbal abuse from occupying Indians and no support from federal officials. The 38-year-old plumber-turned-politician wants to remain tribal president and seek re-election next year despite calls to retake the village. He says he delayed action at the federal order and was kept under wraps for 10 days. Wilson claims he has enough men to retake Wounded Knee the night militants seized it on February 27.
