Denise Pictou Maloney says the trauma from the 1975 murder of her mother, Indigenous activist Anna Mae Aqaush, has never dimmed. The daughter of the accused killer suffers, too.

Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.In this composite image made from two photographs, Rebecca Julian, left, Anna Mae Pictou Aquash's eldest sister, and Denise Maloney, Aquash's eldest daughter, hold a portrait of Aquash in Shubenacadie, N.S., on June 20, 2003; At right, Naneek Graham holds a photograph of her father John Graham at her Vancouver home on Tuesday, Feb.

Graham’s daughter said the case has been a defining thread throughout her life, a “horrible nightmare” since her father’s incarceration.B.C. international students hold protest against permanent resident policy changes“He’s always maintained his innocence right from Day 1,” she said. “He really just wants to come home.”She said she still gets goosebumps thinking about the last time she saw her mother.

It would take decades before two members of the American Indian Movement, Graham and Arlo Looking Cloud, were tried and convicted of the murder. But Pictou Maloney said those who ordered the hit were never brought to justice. South Dakota Assistant Attorney General Paul Swedlund said in an email that the allegations made to the Federal Court “are not accurate,” and the state opposes Graham’s return to Canada.
