Thanks for the input. I don't know too much about these Dog Soldiers. I did read that these were already existing for many years before AIM. That is, they aren't something AIM created, they existed in the Indian culture.

I think a lot of Indians are sick of Churchill and more may come out.

Well, the Dog Soldier societies definitely pre-existed in tribal culture (although there were no Lakota Dog Soldiers - the Cheyenne, Hidatsa and Arikara had somewhat of a monopoly on the society initially), but AIM has rather, well, stolen the name. Bah.

Oh - went digging around earlier, and it turns out that AIM doesn't want Churchill, either. If you take a look at the following two website links, it'll take you to both pages of a flyer sent out regarding Churchill and his expulsion from AIM and other Indian organizations in the late 80's/early 90's.
