Russell Means has been called the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. He has been active in drawing attention to the plight of America's native peoples for decades, and has made a few memorable film appearances along the way. He was one of the activists who occupied Alcatraz for 19 months, and was involved in several other prominant takeovers, including the occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. He gave a wonderful performance in "Last of the Mohicans" as Chingachgook.
