The Dudeism Forum

I nominate John Trudell as a great dude in history!
Here is the Wikipedia quick quote..

John Trudell (born February 15, 1946) is an American author, poet, actor, musician, and former political activist. He was the spokesperson for the United Indians of All Tribes' takeover of Alcatraz beginning in 1969, broadcasting as Radio Free Alcatraz. During most of the 1970s, he served as the chairman of the American Indian Movement, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

After his pregnant wife, three children and mother-in-law were killed in 1979 in a fire at the home of his parents-in-law on the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Nevada, Trudell turned to writing, music and film as a second career. He acted in three films in the 1990s. The documentary Trudell (2005) was made about him and his life as an activist and artist.

Cool nomination...

Peace dude.

Don't know much about this dude, but looks like I'm gonna have to check out the doc on him on Netflix.

Quite a bit on him out there,I think.
The only people who know more are the FBI
17000 pages on Trudell complied by the FBI over the years...can you imagine that?

Holy shit, the boys in the crime lab have been working in shifts!

Between 1969 and 1981, the FBI compiled more than 17,000 pages of documents on
Trudell, one of the largest in FBI history. Trudell said he realizes now why he was
considered dangerous.
''I have the power to think coherently at times.''

Fuckin-A!
