Dec. 27, 2013- Turtle Island. Carter Camp travels onto the Spirit World. We send sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of departed warrior Carter Camp, son of the Ponca Nation; may our ancestors welcome you home in the Great Beyond.

Carter Camp put his life on the line at the Siege of Wounded Knee ‘73 in a 71 day standoff between AIM and forces of the United States. These periods of activism propelled Indigenous peoples into new areas of scope and influence, bettering our collective lot to this day. Carter stayed active in struggles for Native peoples and the land until his passing. May our fighting spirit never die. Prayers and smoke for your spirit.
