LEONARD PELTIER HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
 |
I want to ask you for your participation in this
year's Leonard Peltier Annual Holiday Gift Drive for
the children of the Pine Ridge reservation in South
Dakota. This project has gone on for years and
I'm happy to be part of it this year in a supporting
capacity. My support crew will be creating a registry
of gifts that will make it simple for you to buy a gift
or two for the Native children on the Pine Ridge
reservation. I'm honored to be working on a project
initiated by Native political prisoner Leonard Peltier
and run by the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee - true
allies in the struggle for political prisoners and
environmental protection. Please participate as much
as you can to make a real difference in the lives of
these children who live on one of the poorest
reservations in the nation and also by lending your
support to the struggle to free Leonard Peltier. Check
www.supportdaniel.org
and www.leonardpeltier.net
for more information.
Thanks for all the letters and support! Daniel |

About the Leonard Peltier Holiday Gift Drive
The Lakota People have four values to live by: bravery, wisdom, generosity, and fortitude. Generosity (Wacantognaka) is essential to a Lakota. It is better to give a lot than to have a lot. The best way to honor people is through giveaways (otuhan) where the givers share much of what they have with others, sometimes giving away everything in their possession. Leonard Peltier offers all his supporters an opportunity to give something back and honor the Lakota people. He respectfully requests your help making these holidays a little brighter and this winter a little warmer for the children at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Note: The Leonard Peltier Support Group of New Mexico (LPSG) and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee will be delivering the gifts to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation by December 24, 2007.
