LEONARD PELTIER'S TRIBUTE I am deeply saddened by the news I received regarding the passing of my good friend and sister in the struggle, Nilak Butler. ... Nilak was a strong and courageous woman who was admired by all those who knew her. I remember those early days when she took the responsibility of placing herself out in front on many issues seeking to correct the wrongs and gain justice for our people. She fought so hard all her life against these injustices perpetuated against us. Nilak knew the meaning of sacrifice as she always put the needs of the people ahead of her personal needs. Her humor and her dedication will always stand out. She is one of the finest examples of the strength and courage of Native women that I know. We will all certainly miss her presence in the struggle and miss her as a friend. We must honor her life by picking up where she left off. We must continue this struggle to ensure the future of the coming generations. In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, Leonard Peltier - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
