SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — American Indian activist Dennis Banks was in satisfactory condition Sunday after being hospitalized with chest pains, his doctor said.
Banks, 47, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, was taken to St. Michael’s Hospital in Tyndall on Saturday from the Springfield Correctional Facility, where he is serving a three-year sentence for rioting and assault.
Banks apparently was stricken with intercostal neuritis, which is “inflammation of the muscle and nerve in the tissue between the ribs,” Dr. Robert Foley said.
