Description
This copy of a 29-page typed document, circa 1977, details the misconduct by government officials at the trial of Dennis Banks and Russell Means who were charged with multiple offenses arising from the siege of Wounded Knee in 1973. Judge Nichol ultimately dismissed the case due to misconduct such as false witness testimony, illegal surveillance and an attempt to cover up the extent of military involvement at Wounded Knee.
