Item consists of an audio recording of a press conference regarding the treatment of Indigenous people by the authorities surrounding the circumstances of the Wounded Knee Occupation and the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The recording begins with a statement from an unidentified speaker regarding the death of Anna Mae Aquash, the apprehension of Leonard Peltier and Frank Blackhorse at the Smallboy Camp by members of the RCMP. The recording cuts out for a moment and returns with the chairman, who then introduces the purposes for their meeting and the speakers they have brought in. The audio cuts off during the statement from Barry Travis, the first speaker, which then continues on ASC33101.
