Frank Blackhorse

Frank Blackhorse was an American Indian Movement (AIM) activist involved in the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, where he was charged for his involvement and released on a $10,000 bond. After the 1975 shootout at the Jumping Bull compound on the Pine Ridge Reservation he fled with Leonard Peltier and other AIM fugitives into Canada. The RCMP captured Blackhorse and Peltier near Hinton, Alberta on February 6, 1976 and held them at the Oakalla Prison Farm in British Columbia. Blackhorse managed to get released before he could be extradited and went into hiding to avoid further U.S persecution. He remains a fugitive and was last known to be living in Edmonton, Alberta in 1978.
