On February 24, 1976, Annie Mae Aquash’s body was found by the side of State Road 73 in the northeast corner of the on the Pine Ridge Reservation, about 10 miles from Wanblee, South Dakota.

Annie Mae Pictou was from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. My father was from Havre Boucher, Nova Scotia. He loved her. He was proud of her. I remember how pissed he was in the spring of 1976, after Annie Mae was found frozen upon the ground in a reservation in South Dakota.

So it is today that I let you know: Annie Mae was a true hero. She fought the good fight seeking justice for the First Nations. She is an inspiration to me every single day that I breathe.
