Annie Mae Pictou Aquash (Mi'kmaq) Naguset Eask - Sun Woman: March 27, 1945 - December 12, 1975
Q. You may answer the question. Do you remember what it was? It was what did you hear that took place in the confrontation? A. I heard that he had taken her away from the camp in a car and had put a gun to her head, and that he wanted to know if she was an informant.
Leonard Peltier (who stands a symbol for social justice for Indigenous peoples around the world today) interrogated Aquash at gunpoint during a national AIM conference in Farmington, New Mexico. According to Troy Lynn Yellow Wood, one of Aquash's closest friends, "[Annie Mae] said that Leonard had held a gun to her head and had asked her, and told her that everybody was saying she was a snitch." While Peltier and AIM's leadership denied this confrontation ever took place, activists close to these leaders, including Kamook (Darlene Nichols, Dennis Bank's ex-wife), John Trudell (AIM's national spokesman), and Martina White Bear (Aquash's confidant) insist that this encounter took place in June 1975.
