Dennis Banks, the American Indian Movement leader who “sought to organize scattered native clan members into a militant, cohesive unit,” died last week at the age of 80. Banks “was among thousands of young activists of native, indigenous communities who rose up to speak and act on behalf of the oppressed,” said Mumia Abu Jamal, the nation’s best known political prisoner.
