Indians Demand Real Change Over Wounded Knee Occupation
AIM leaders Dennis Banks Russell Means and Carter Camp say their main goal is real social change and self determination for American Indians. They insist Indians must define their future by taking responsibility for changing oppressive conditions, not by words or petitions alone. Meanwhile in Cambodia and Vietnam, cease-fire violations rise with attacks on Phnom Penh and surrounding areas as U S and Vietnamese forces report ongoing fighting and strategic moves on highways and targets.
