The following Message from Leonard Peltier, in support of the prayer for
"Global Peace Now!" as a universal human resolve, is especially timely
today in light of the war begun again today by the United States in the
Middle East, even though it was offered for and carried by the United
Nations 50th anniversary memorial Global Peace Walk in 1995 from New York
to San Francisco. This message was hand delivered, along with many more
from other spiritual and religious leaders, politicians and community
leaders, to the President of the UN General Assembly on October 26, 1995,
by the Global Peace Walk initiator Rev. Yusen Yamato, during a UN NGO
conference on nuclear abolition. It is offered here for local supporters
to copy and give to participants and media at the Saturday, December 19,
1998, nationwide demonstrations for the FREEDOM OF LEONARD PELTIER. It
is our position that in addition to being an unjustly incarcerated
political prisoner, Leonard Peltier is a leading Indigenous American
Spiritual Leader whose duties and responsibilities for the benefit of all
life on Earth compel his immediate release for the genuine cause of Global
Peace Now! We need him out of jail so he can take part in the great
prayers of the ongoing Global Peace Walk, in 1999, and in the year 2000
when Peace Walkers will cover the route from San Francisco to Washington,
DC, to New York for the 55th anniversary of the United Nations in order to
unite all people of peace in a Spiritually United Nation. In this time of
transition from a warlike society to a peaceful society we need the
spiritual leadership of Leonard Peltier out in the society and it is
especially fitting that the President grant him clemency as we approach the
mid-point of the United Nations designated International Decade of the
World's Indigenous Peoples (1995-2004).

Statement of Leonard Peltier, April 23rd, 1995
for Global Peace Walk
Greetings My Sisters and Brothers,
I send you my love and support from behind these prison walls! You
are in my heart for the sacrifice you endure in helping to make our Earth
Mother a place of peace and harmony. As we approach the anniversary of the
United Nations and as we close in on the next century it is of vital
importance that the message of peace be made clear.
It pains me to witness violence against our international neighbors
as well as against ourselves. Planting bombs in buildings is as great an
atrocity as arming and training overseas death squads. Constructing
nuclear arsenals is as devastating as saying and doing nothing to stop
their production.
The Peace Walk and Global Unity Events are an example to all of us.
You represent the importance of reconciliation and unity. By the action
you have taken, the letters collected, people educated, and resolutions
gathered, you demonstrate to people around the world the significance and
impact a group of compassionate individuals can summon in an effort to
better the planet for all of its inhabitants.
Global Peace Now is critical to the survival of the human race.
Collectively, we have been apathetic to the state of our neighbors and the
deteriorating condition of our Earth Mother for too long. Global Peace Now
is not just an invitation, it is a great cry for us to open our eyes and
ears, to use our heads and hands and create the kinds of change that will
save the planet and all who live and breathe upon Her.
I wish that I could join you. I wish that I could be with you, to
help out and offer my assistance in any way I could in this beautiful
effort toward peace. I pray that soon we can be together so that I may
embrace you for the sacrifice you make, your blistered feet and hungry
bellies. Know that although I am still in prison, my heart is there within
reach of every one of you.
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,
Leonard Peltier

======================================
Let us all work to fulfill his wish to join us in walking for Global Peace
Now! Rev. Yamato will be taking part in and offering his prayers at the
San Francisco demonstration this Saturday. He is a buddhist monk and zen
shiatzu meditation practitoner whose people took part in and supported The
Longest Walk in 1978. Yamato was the coordinator for the Long Walk for
Survival in 1980 and one of his elders, the late most venerable Nichidatsu
Fujii (whom Mahatma Gandhi called his teacher) left the legacy and message
to his followers that in order for the global peace movement to succeed,
the indigenous American spiritual people must be given lead. Reverend
Yamato was given a special personal blessing for the success of the Global
Peace Walk by His Holiness Dalai Lama and he has worked tirelessly for over
twenty years networking the Japanese and Tibetan Buddhist leaders with the
Indigenous American Spiritual Leaders. He has recently returned from a
month visit to Japan where he took Lakota Sundance Chief Leonard Crow Dog
to conduct special prayers for peace. 1998 was the second year of Rev.
Yamato's
taking part in the Sundance in South Dakota under Crow Dog's guidance.
In preparation and promotion for the February 6th and June 26th, 1999,
Peltier Freedom Demonstrations, videotapes of this Saturday's
demonstrations accross the country will be accumulated and copied in a six
hour tape available by mail for $10 payable upon receipt and ordered from
JUSTICEVISION at Democracy University in Los Angeles. Orders may be placed
in advance by phone or by email to Ralph Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
213-747-6345. Those locations with videotape of their events to submit for
this tape (series) are requested to send Super-VHS copy of their best
footage to him after making phone or email arrangements. When orders and
tapes are accumulated, he will mail copies out as soon as possible and you
can send him the minimum donation above upon your receipt of the tape which
you can then use locally to inspire larger turn-outs next year, use for
media, etc.
