I am very sad to report the death of Barney Bush, my good friend. I knew Barney since the late 1960s and just a short time ago, we spoke about usual Indian craziness. We were good friends. We founded the Free School in Hammon OK when a White school teacher slap a young Arapahoe girl in class. We kept the National Indian Youth Council open by working without pay for over a year. We wrote proposals that kept the doors of the National Indian Youth Council open. Barney was co-director of the Four Corners American Indian Movement with Hank Howell. We occupied the old Fort Lewis in Hesperus when Fort Lewis College ended free tuition for Indian students. During the occupation, I would hear two outstanding Indian poets, Barney and Simon Ortiz read their poems over the campfire. The three of us and the dog named Rex would be alone keeping the revolution going. Recently, Barney and I were working on a couple of projects to keep the revolution going. Barney taught at Rough Rock and IAIA for a number of years. This is very sad for me.

Woke up to the news Barney Bush has crossed over. We last spoke of porch sitting and sharing stories of our shared family lines but Covid kept me away. I hoped for a safer time that never came. My love, light, and prayers are with you on your journey to ancestors and all those that grieve your loss.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Shawnee poet Barney Bush. A couple years ago I had the honor of hearing him read a poem and speak about his experience protecting land from extractive industries at the N. American Forest & Climate Convergence near his home in so. Illinois.
