Accused AIM killer going to trial

RAPID CITY, S.D., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Trial will begin this week for a Canadian man accused of the execution-style killing of Indian activist Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash 35 years ago, officials say.

The federal trial in South Dakota for John Graham of Vancouver, British Columbia, a Southern Tsimshian originally from Yukon, is tied into the American Indian Movement, the occupation of Wounded Knee and the ensuing spillover of violence at the Pine Ridge Reservation from 1973 to 1975, Postmedia News reported Monday.

Pictou-Aquash left AIM and moved to Denver having been accused of being an FBI informant. UPI
