Maybe he should just get a fishing license and a driver's license. Like the rest of us?

He is not like the rest of us. He is an enlightened, spiritual Indian. That makes him better then everybody else. If they were all so enlightened, how come they lost????

Pssst... not all Tribes were defeated by the US Army. Instead of buying all that bleach for your hood, you should invest it in a good history book instead. You might actually learn something.

As for Russell, that's Russell being Russell. Nothing more.

"Activist-actor Russell Means fights fishing charge"

I'm assuming "activist-actors" are "actors" who really don't make much money, because they are only capable of playing themselves.

Buy a fishing license, and stay off the roads, Russell. Loser...

[Daniel Trujillo]

Hello, Daniel here (after how long?).
Means was evicted from a reservation for repeated trouble with authorities for spousal/domestic abuse.

I wonder if the "Enlightened" comment was not irony.

darn my eyes, Daniel's back

[Mark Wright]

Seems like the powers that be may want to recognize the 1851 agreement...if they do not, well then argument comes back to "this land is your land?, NO this land is my land," again

[PC Chavez]

Hi Daniel! How's the band doing (Ants)?

suggestion check facts - btw russell is not a loser - he is a human who sometimes errs - as we all do. far from perfect - do not agree with all he does - but no he is not a loser, walk in his shoes sometimes - walk your talk... learn to walk in beauty sir he is working on it so should we...

Russel Means and the People of the Sioux Nation should be allowed to hunt and fish where ever they want too. It was their land until it was stolen from them.

And I thought Injun hating was something unique to South Dakota! Guess not....
Russell, and the rest of the Sioux Nation, ought to be able to hunt and fish when and were they damn well please. It's the least we can do for them after taking their state from them.
Can't we be white about this? LOL

I assume that you are of European decent at least that is what you indicate.

If you feel that way why don't you return your property and ill gotten gains that you have acquired in this country and return to your ancestral home in Europe? It was your ancestors that came here and stole the land. If you came later you benefited by their actions which makes you just as guilty.

How about packing up your bags and heading home to the land of your ancestors and giving back what is not really yours. I don’t just want a couple of token Buffalo but all that you have illegally acquired.

My guess is that you are not going anywhere and probably will make some stupid excuse for not. In short your posting is stupid and makes you a hypocrite.

I'm a big fan of Russel's movies. I think he is cool. It would be cool to get to meet him someday. As for fishing, WTF, fish where ever you want. What is the big deal. If there is laws as to when and where one can fish on public areas, that is getting totally communism. So grab a pole and let's go fishing.

Cuz I'm an honorary member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate that's why...
Married thirty five years to a card carrying member!
Sorta grandfather’s me in if you catch my drift.
Kinda like the French....
If YOU want it back so bad…. Why not take it back? Or are you one of those passive red men?
(Maybe you could learn a thing or two from Russell)

IMHO this issue is about Meanss reminding people about the reality of American Indians and the proverbial prison and chains they live in.
The contrast of their lives. NOW and THEN.
Anyone but they created their perdicament and it is absoloutly non-revokable .
Not having to obey the laws we all do will not un-do it.
