It’s been 4 years since the imitable writer, artist, activist John Trudell (Santee Dakota) left us on Dec 8, 2015. Recently, I’ve been digging through my old files in an attempt to make space and de-clutter my office. In the process, I’m finding lots of good stuff going back almost 2 decades, including a copy of the old Mexika Eagle Society journal that we used to publish which has an interview of John conducted by Kurly Tlapoyawa. I had forgotten all about it, so this was a real treat for me. Fans of John will surely enjoy this piece.
