John Trudell was born on February 15, 1946 in Omaha Nebraska. He was a Native American author, poet, actor, musician, and political activist. He was the spokesperson for the  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 suspicious 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 films in the 1990s. The 2005 documentary, “Trudell” was made about him and his life as an activist and artist. On December 8, 2015 in Santa Clara, CA, John Trudell, ascended into the spirit world at the young age of 69.
