The Second Annual Candlelight Vigil in memory of Leonard "Acorn"
Peters is soon coming upon us. Last year many of you joined us and
we're definitely looking forward to seeing you again this year.

The vigil is in memory of "Acorn," a tribal member who was murdered
in cold blood by the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, and to date
has received no justice.

We're "Calling all People" to be with us at this important event.
Let us stand together in memory of and justice for "Acorn" that can
only come with the exoneration of "Bear" Lincoln.

Overnight stays will be accommodated and our food we will share.

The Second Annual Candlelight Vigil Memorial begins Saturday,
April 12 at 7:30 pm on Little Valley Road on the Round Valley Indian
Reservation. This was the scene of the sheriffs' ambush of Acorn.

It continues Sunday, April 13 at 2:00 pm at the Buffalo Room of the
Round Valley tribal hall, where there will be a community dinner with
speakers, drumming and singing. You may bring your favorite dish to
share with others.

The following day, Monday, April 14, from 2-4 p.m., there will be a
"Gathering for Justice" for Bear Lincoln outside the Mendocino County
Jail at 951 Low Gap Road, Ukiah, CA.

Bear Lincoln's murder trial begins the next day, Tuesday, April 15,
9:00 a.m. at the Mendocino County Courthouse, Ukiah, CA.

For more information do call and remember your contributions to this
worthy cause will always be appreciated.

Respectfully,

Cora Lee Simmons,
Chairperson
