Camp |
American
Indian Rights Activist and Ponca Tribal Leader, Carter Camp has
worked for Tribal Sovereignty and Treaty Rights for over thirty
years. He is a former National Chairman of the American Indian
Movement and founder of Kansas and Oklahoma A.I.M.. In 1973 at
Wounded Knee, South Dakota, Carter was one of three A.I.M. leaders
who led several hundred warriors in the historic, 73 day Wounded
Knee liberation and subsequent 'siege' by the American Government.
This desperate action by the American Indian Movement created
dramatic change all across Indian Country and forced the American
Government to begin to abide by the treaties with Indian Nations.
Today, Carter edits and publishes the "PONCA CITIZEN,"
a community newsletter for the members of his Tribe, and continues
as the Chairman of the American Indian Movement of Oklahoma. He
is a Sundance Society leader and traditionalist in Ponca religious
