HAYS, KS -- Fort Hays State University's Dr. Raymond Wilson,
professor of history, was chosen to write a chapter titled
"Russell Means, Lakota" in The New Warriors: Native Americans
Leaders Since 1900, recently published by the University of
Nebraska Press. Wilson was chosen by the editor, R. David
Edmunds, because he is known nationwide for his scholarship and
his publications on Indian history. "Russel Means, Lakota" is a
biography of Means, a member of the Lakota tribe and leader of
the American Indian movement. He protested in the 1960s and '70s
against the mistreatment of Indians. Means has also been to
Hollywood, playing a lead role as Chingachgook in Last of the
Mohicans. He was also the voice of Pocahontas' father in
Disney's Pocahontas.
