American Indian Spiritual Riders for Justice on horseback will be traveling
from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Massachusetts to Washington D.C. for a rally and
then on to Atlanta Georgia, to bring attention to the plight of American
Indian Activist Leonard Peltier, who has been in prision for 20+years for a
crime he did not commit.
It has been proven in court that every piece of evidence used to convict him
is false. Yet the government refuses to grant him a fair trial because they
could not get who they wanted, so they got who they could.
The significance of Leonard Peltier's cause to every person upon the face of
the earth is that if a government can imprision an innocent man for its
own purposes, and we as a free and just people cannot, in a peaceful way,
free him, then the freedom of all people is in grave danger.
Apathy is the first cause of te deterioration of justice and freedom.
Indifference to your fellow human beings' pleas for justice will eventually
bring about loss of justice for yourself.
Leonard Peltier's attorneys have for 20 some years legally attempted to
bring about a fair trial. Millions of people all over the world are
familiar with Leonard's case./ At this time President Clinton continues to
consider executive clememncy for Leonard. He has been "considering" this
for 3 years now. Because of the political influence of the F.B.I., it will
take letters and petitins and the involvement of as many people as possible
to incluence the President to do the right thing and free Leonard Peltier.
The Amrican Indian Spiritual Riders for Justice will be demonstrating on
horseback in all the major cities from Oklahoma to Washington D.C. They
will officially begin their ride on June 10? There are many small towns
where we will be stopping briefly. To locate the riders, call the Leonard
Peltier Defense Committee or Teri at 717-233-8070 or 717-730-9480. We will
also be traveling frontage roads and taking side routes, depending on
traffic and safety considerations.
May we live in harmony with the Great Spirit, the Mother Earth, and our
fellow man and respect our brother's vision.
Most Sincerely,
David Hill
National Spokesperson
Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
Member of International A.I.M. Confederation (Oklahoma Division)

The horses are stuck in Knoxville TN because of lack of funding!!!
[ NativeNet has a policy of not permitting solicitations of funds, even
for clearly worthy causes. Therefore, I am eliminating some of the
following article that is not essential to the meaning. --Gary ]
...The ride is very expensive, moving horse trailers and keeeping the
horses feed is very hard. Right now they are grazing at a truck stop on
I40 right outside of Knoxville. Any help would be appreciated....
[ Please send a reply via e-mail to "tom@admin.fandm.edu" or call
