As printed in the "Richmond Times Dispatch" 12/23/91 Sioux activist dies in Albemarle HOWARDSVILLE - Two Crows Stacy, a University of Virginia budget analyst who became an influential advocate for the rights of Sioux Indians, died Monday. He was 45. Mr. Stacy was well known in Albemarle County as Paul Stacy. He was not an Indian, but changed his name when he became involved in Indian causes in the mid-1980's. A baseball and football star at Albemarle High School in the early 60's, Mr. Stacy played football for Florida State University for two years. He worked for U.Va for 22 years, and left in September to farm. In 1974 he ran for Congress as an independent. His platform included the elimination of what he considered corporate tax loopholes, passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, withdrawal of foreign aid from representative governments, and a variety of environmental measures. A suit he filed regarding election rules went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. "He upset people, he stimulated people's thoughts, and he loved it," said his wife, Ellen Kleeman Stacy. In recent years, he worked with Lakota Sioux elders on reservations in South Dakota. Mr. Stacy believed that the Sioux were being treated unfairly by the federal government. He became a lobbyist and organizer for the Black Hills Teton National Treaty Council, which is attempting to alleviate poverty on the reservations by regaining treaty rights. Mr. Stacy helped arrange for Sioux elders to take their case to Congress and to the U.N. Human Rights Commission. During the Persian Gulf war, he helped organize a journey to Iraq by Sioux medicine men who went to pray for peace. In 1989 he collected winter clothing and delivered it to one of the reservations. Recently, he helped organize an effort to keep gambling off the Lower Brule Reservation. "Two Crows helped us in every degree," said Antonio Black Feather, a treaty council elder. "We used him as a rallying point to get our message across. He was one of our main pillars." No funeral is planned. Mr. Stacy's ashes will be scattered at his home and on the reservations in South Dakota, following pipe ceremonies. The family requests that memorial donations for food and fuel be sent to the Elders of the Black Hills Teton National Treaty Council at Box 48, Pine Ridge, SD 57770
