Those of you who are old enough to remember the events that occurred on the Pine Ridge Reservation back in 1973, are probably already familiar with John Trudell. For those of you who have never heard of this man, John Trudell served as the chairman of the American Indian Movement during the seventies, and has been a voice for the Native American people ever since that time. Brilliant and eloquent enough to be considered ‘dangerous’ by the FBI, after he burned the American flag in a public demonstration, within days, in retaliation, the FBI set fire to his in-laws’ home on Nevada’s Duck Valley Indian Reservation, killing John’s pregnant wife, his three young children, and his mother-in-law. It was then that his ‘lines’ began to stream through his spirit and etch themselves into everything he has ever said, written, or recorded. As the Dawn of the New Time invites us to remember the ones who paved the way for its return, the ‘TRUDELL DOCUMENTARY ‘ will remind you of the man whose words echo in honor of the millions of forgotten souls who died along the way. We have come to the conclusion that John Trudell is the poetic reincarnation of the great warrior, Chief Geronimo: do yourself a favor and make time to listen to him speak.
