Activists->Peltier,: The fight continues over whether Leonard Peltier should be paroled
Posted on Friday, July 31 @ 23:27:06 CDT (389 reads)

BISMARCK, N.D. - The North Dakota reservation where imprisoned American Indian activist Leonard Peltier grew up has made arrangements to incorporate him back into society should he be paroled, Peltier's attorney said Tuesday.

Peltier is serving two life sentences for the execution-style deaths of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams during a June 26, 1975, standoff on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was convicted in Fargo, N.D., in 1977. He has claimed the FBI framed him, which the agency denies, and he has unsuccessfully appealed his conviction numerous times.

Posted on Saturday, January 24 @ 18:16:55 CST (1129 reads)

Wahkon writes Hopefully, Pope Benedict XVI will soon formally revoke the 15th century papal bulls which were primarily responsible for the horrible atrocities committed against Indigenous Peoples and then lead the Catholic Church and Western “Civilization” through a process of radical transformation. And by doing so, lead humanity into a new age, wherein Indigenous Peoples will be given their due respect.

Issues->Racism: Independent Indigenous Sovereign Nations
Posted on Saturday, January 24 @ 18:13:07 CST (938 reads)

Wahkon writes The indigenous peoples living in this land our still being denied three of their--endowed by the Creator--unalienable equality rights, or fundamental human rights. The right to absolute root ownership of their scared traditional/ancestral homelands, the right to be recognized and treated as full independent sovereign nations and the--freedom of religion--right to fully re-establish their traditional religions within their sacred ancestral homelands.

Activists->Sacred La: Prohibition Party's interest in Rum River name-change movement
Posted on Friday, September 05 @ 09:54:55 CDT (1426 reads)

Wahkon writes By Thomas Dahlheimer

In response to a message about my movement to change the name of Minnesota's Rum River, a message that was sent to Gene Amondson, the 2008 Presidential nominee for the National Prohibition Party, I received a supportive call from him. We talked about the work we are doing to bring back Prohibition as well as establish dry states, counties and cities, etc. In respect to keeping him updated on the progress of my Rum River name-change movement and associated movement to bring back Prohibition, Amondson told me to call him whenever I would like to. Amondson is an international speaker and he has been on the John Stewart Daily Show once and on the Oprah show twice.

Posted on Thursday, December 20 @ 07:47:22 CST (2415 reads)

The Roman Catholic church will be demonstrating its seriousness about respecting the rights and dignity of all peoples. The revocation of Inter Caetera will be an extremely important spiritual and symbolic gesture of peace and healing in creating a culture of peace on earth.
