John Graham Case Update
FBI War On Indigenous Resistance

Rhizome Cafe, 317 E. Broadway, Vancouver, Coast Salish Territory
Video and information update on the case of John Graham, former American Indian Movement (AIM) member, Vancouver resident and current prisoner of war in South Dakota.
Graham’s former co-defendant Richard Marshall, also a former AIM member, was recently found not guilty of murdering fellow AIM member Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, whose death the FBI tried to cover-up within the context of a counter-insurgency campaign that left 60 traditonal Lakota people and AIM members dead on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in the 1970s.

All proceeds to help John’s family get to South Dakota for his trial on October 6th, 2008. John is a Southern Tutchone from the Yukon and former member of the American Indian Movement (A.I.M). The allegations against John are murdering fellow AIM member and Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Anna Mae Pictou in 1975. He strongly denies killing his friend and comrade Anna Mae. John’s case has a striking resemblance to another framed A.I.M member, Leonard Peltier.
