Thank you for posting , Russel Means was a very deep hearted spokesperson and Activist he himself lead a very difficult life but he has allways raised a strong voice for his people (And our people as well) he was well most known for leading the 71 day takeover of wounded knee a powerful voice for his the rights of his people (and in this day ours as well) and a screen actor in films like the "Last of The Mohicans" He deeply touched on the meaning of "true freedom" and warned our people of the dangerous direction our goverment was taking that will deeply effect our future generations, Avatar very likely took very deep symbolic examples on what he has spoken on as part of its mirror story (Avatar takes examples from many Global native cultures)
