[Psalm 144]

I sure liked him in the role of Uncas. Perhaps that was a glimpse of the non-political man?

[savagesusie]

The evil Leftists are some of the BEST actors-—it is fact that they have to HIDE their plans—to kill millions and enslave the masses-—to get the adoring sycophants to vote for their ugly, nasty policies.

He was great as Uncas. I love that movie.

He didn’t play Uncas. He played Chingachkook, the father. But that will always one of my favorite movies.

FWIW, I lost track of Russell Means sometime shortly after he threw his lot in with the A.I.M. crowd in the early 1970s. Then, a mutual acquaintance set us up for a chance meeting when I was working in Japan in the early 1990s.

We had a nice talk. Russell was on a trade mission to Japan and seeking advice from people who might help him sell goods produced on the reservation to the Japanese. I opened up my business card file, selected a half dozen or so contacts which I thought might be able to help and introduced him to one in the neighborhood whom I thought would be most appropriate. His demeanor was more like the old Russell I had once known than politicized jerk created by Banks, Peltier and the A.I.M. I invited him for lunch, but he had but a short time in Japan and a hectic schedule to meet.

I like to think that he left this world more like the old Russell I knew. I think his role of Uncas was roughly the same time in his life, wasn't it? If so, then I think you were seeing the real Russell.
