Description: UP FOR AUCTION IS AN EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND FBI WANTED POSTER OF HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL AND INFAMOUS MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT, FRANK "BLACK HORSE" DELUCA.. Frank Blackhorse is one of several aliases used by a member of the Movement. He is perhaps best known for his participation in the Wounded Knee incident, particularly his role in the shootout that left two FBI and one American Indian dead and for becoming a fugitive on the run who fled to Canada shortly after. Much of Blackhorse's early and personal life is shrouded in mystery. According to one source, Frank Blackhorse was born Frank Leonard Deluca. However, another source identifies Frank Blackhorse as being born Francis Deluca. Although Blackhorse self-identifies as a member of the Cherokee nation, some sources state that he is a non-Indian. Also supporting these claims is the FBI, who state that Blackhorse is of Italian ethnicity. Two sources even posit that Blackhorse is of Jewish descent. Although Blackhorse claims to have been born in the town of Cherokee, North Carolina, the FBI claims that Blackhorse was born in the city of Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to the ambiguity surrounding Blackhorse's ethnicity, there is a relatively complex degree involved in ascertaining the exact nature of his identity. Blackhorse has an incredibly long list of aliases which he uses. The list of these aliases, include Francis Blackhorse,[Frank DeLuca, Bruce Johnson, Richard Leon High Eagle, Richard Tall Bull, Mike Houston, Michael Houston, Teddy Louis and Teddy Lewis. A previous associate, Father Michael Campagna, affiliated with Campagna Academy (formerly Hoosier Boys' Town of Indiana) of Schererville, Indiana, came across the FBI Wanted Flyer #482, and identifies Blackhorse as Frank L. Deluca, whose original date of birth was 16 October 1954, whose place of birth was in the city of Chicago, Illinois to mother Kay Goldfein and Frank Deluca.Wounded KneeOn 11 March 1973, FBI agent Curtis A. Fitzgerald took a bullet wound in the wrist. Although no conclusive evidence existed in regard to who fired the first shot that wounded agent Fitzgerald, Black Horse was arrested and charged with shooting Agent Fitzgerald. Later that March, Black Horse was released on a $10,000.00 cash bond for wounding Special Agent Curtis A. Fitzgerald.On 29 August 1974, a Federal Grand Jury in Sioux Falls, South Dakota indicted Frank Black Horse for allegedly shooting FBI Special Agent Curtis A. Fitzgerald at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Blackhorse failed to make an appearance at the scheduled trial for shooting of S/A Fitzgerald at Council Bluffs and United States District Court Judge Andrew W. Bogue subsequently issued a bench warrant for Black Horse. His lawyer, Martha Copleman, was found in contempt of court regarding Blackhorse’s no show for a trial. Blackhorse’s attorney fought to the Supreme Court for the right to “not” disclose why her client, disappeared, a decision which was upheld by the Supreme Court.
