Incident at Oglala

Incident at Oglala is a 1992 documentary by Michael Apted, narrated by Robert Redford. The film documents the deaths of two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the summer of 1975.

There were many unsolved murders and driveby shootings on the reservation, caused by a culture clash between traditional and Americanized Sioux. The American Indian Movement AIM was invited to the reservation to help assert traditional values. It was headquartered at Calvin Jumping Bulls property on the southern edge of Oglala. The incident at Oglala was precipitated by the FBI investigation of a pair of stolen boots. Jimmy Eagle, one of the AIM teenagers, was thought to have taken a pair of boots after a fight, and two FBI agents, wanting to talk to him about it, pursued a vehicle they thought he was driving into the AIM camp, leading to a shootout which left both dead.
