At the Top of the poster is black text that reads: ""We are proud of being born Indian, and we will / never be ashamed of our heritage or our decisions. / And even though we are chained today and face the prison walls, we are convinced that Indian people / will close the ranks to free us so that we might continue our struggle. / When we decided to join our husbands and sons, we knew that we would have to carry the struggle if / they were killed along the way, and we accepted that challenge. And we will carry ourselves in a / manner that will be remembered with pride. / We stand today because we are tired of watching our people die of broken hearts, brutal slayings and / other injustices of this country. We pledge our lives that we will never tolerate that abuse anymore. / And even though we may be killed in struggle, we will die with pride knowing that our children are / that much closer to victory." Anna Mae Aquash and KaMook Banks, November 16, 1975. / On February 24, 1976, Anna Mae Aquash was found murdered on the Pine ridge Reservation.".
