DescriptionBarney Bush [Shawnee/Vinyard], 24, center, talks with a newsman (right) about plans to take over buildings on the site of the state agricultural station at Hesperus, Colorado. Bush is a spokesman for Native Americans who have camped on the grounds since April 25, 1971, to protest an end to free tuition for all Indians at Fort Lewis College in nearby Durango, Colorado. Simon Ortiz [Acoma], left, of the National Indian Youth Council in Albuquerque, New Mexico, listens. The three men appear to be seated on the ground in a tipi / teepee. Bush is wrapped in a blanket. They are seated on blankets that cover the dirt inside the teepee.On View
