Tonight’s Agenda: Viewing and Discussion of the Documentary Trudell

This film follows the extraordinary life of Native American poet and activist. John Trudell, from his impoverish childhood in Omaha to his leader ship in the American Indian movement (AIM), and his reincarnation as an acclaimed musician and spoken word, poet.

The film begins in the late 1960s, when Trudell and a community group called All Tribes, occupied Alcatraz Island for 21 months and a symbolic effort to claim the island for the Indian people. The event brought international attention to the Native American cause. After the Alcatraz occupation, Trudell went on to become national spokesman for the American Indian movement. The FBI labeled Trudell a subversive in the 1970s and its dossier on Trudell exceeded 17,000 pages, or the longest in the bureau history.

After years outside the public eye, in 1983 Trudell began to put his poems to music with the help of friend and fellow activist Jackson Browne and Kiowa guitar legend, the late Jesse and Davis. The recordings drew the attention of musicians, activist, and critics and put Trudell in the realm of social theorist and philosopher.
