Obituary: Actor and activist Russell Means, 72, has died. He announced last year he was diagnosed with inoperable throat cancer.

Means was in a number of films, but it was his activism in AIM (American Indian Movement) and his involvement in the 1973 siege at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, for which he is best remembered:

The AIM's armed occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota - the site of an infamous massacre of Native Americans by US soldiers in the late 19th Century - lasted for 71 days.

The protest followed the failure of AIM followers to impeach the elected tribal president, whom they accused of corruption.
