A presentation with former political prisoner and Native American freedom-fighter on May 20th, 7 PM at Flor y Canto Flor y Canto 3706 N.Figueroa Ave http://www.florycanto.org/splitsky.htm www.splittingthesky.com
From a background of orphanages and boarding schools, Dacajeweiah "Splitting the Sky" John Hill emerged as a leader of the Attica rebellion at the age of nineteen, and later became active with the American Indian Movement. With the publication of his long anticipated memoir, From Attica to Gustafsen Lake, Splitting the Sky reveals the definitive inside account of the Attica uprising and its horrendous aftermath, takes us behind the scene at Gustafsen Lake, Canada's own Wounded Knee, and provides us with invaluable insight into the late 20th Century struggles for peace and justice and Native American self-determination. Splitting the Sky is a powerful articulate public lecturer. Be sure to check out his upcoming presentation at Flor y Canto, where he will discuss issues as diverse as the Prison-Industrial-Complex, the reality of the War on "Terrorism", the ongoing struggle for self-determination for indigenous peoples the world over, and the need for a militant, determined North American de-colonization movement.
