My Grandfathers Prayer (Eagle Claw & Messina Victorio)

Nightwolf talks with Eagle Claw Victorio, who is the great-grandson of Victorio (Bidu-ya, Beduiat; 1825 – 1880), Chief of the Chihenne (Chiricahua Apache) in southwestern New Mexico.  Eagle Claw is a Vietnam Army Veteran, an Apache Sun Dancer, and has been an activist in the American Indian Movement (AIM) since it was founded.

Eagle Claw and his wife, Messina, live in Colorado. Together they established and taught new methods for healing patients using Indigenous culture at a Bethlehem, PA hospital. They continue activism for Native rights, sacred land, and ceremonies.
