INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY GATHERING
1:00 PM AT PEACE ARCH PARK, U.S./CANADIAN BORDER
In this time of human history, we are closing out one century and are
about to enter into a new one. The century we are leaving has been
marked by a continuous patten of disregard of the sanctity of human life
and of Mother Earth herself. It would seem that by the time of the end of
this century that this patten should have changed, but it has not. Thus,
the entering into the new century is not a time of new hope but rather a
time of continuation of old shameful ways.
Leonard Peltier still remains in prison. Even though his defense has
disproven the government's case to the point where the government
admits they have no case left against him. Leonard is in prison as a part
of a government cover-up of the acts carried out in the interests of
multinational energy corporations who wanted more Lakota land and
sought to suppress the traditional Lakota people and the American
Indian Movement who they saw as stanging in their way. Leonard has
been continuously harassed because Leonard will not stop speaking out
against injustice, and the government has even gone so far as to refuse
medical treatment for him which has left him in a state of persistent
pain. We view the refusal of medical treatment as an act of political
torture. All we ask for is simple justice.
Our march and gathering also is about: The continuing stuggle at Pine
Ridge against the murders of Oglalas near Whiteclay and in Rapid City
and the parasites that peddle the curse of alcoholism; The great raise of
organized racism and threats to First Nations treaties, here in the
northwest against the Makah People and all other First Nations People;
The continuing struggles of First Nations People north of the colonialist
border for their survival against corporate and eurocentic domination; The
up-coming deadline of forced relocation of the Dine'h Big Mountain
resisters; The drive of globalized corporate conquest through such things
as NAFTA, GATT and carried out by the WTO, that seeks all for a few at
the expense of Indigenous Rights, Human Rights, Labor Rights and the
environment which we all depend upon for survival.
The INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY, OCTOBER 10,
1999, MARCH AND GATHERING, is a coming together as a statement
of solidarity with the international struggles of Indigenous People. It is a
time of honoring those struggles. It is a time of learning more about
those struggles. It is a time to stand together, people from both sides of
the colonialist border, as brothers and sisters of the family of humanity
and commit ourselves to making the new century one of the well-being
of all, rather than another century of shameful abuse by some at the
expense of all else. Please join us!
In Solidarity
