We Each Begin In Innocence. We All

In The Past, When We Were Initially Organizing To Bring About Changes, Our Elders Had Little Or No Political Experience. However, Today, Most Of Those American Indian Movement Organ-izers Are The Elders. They Are Quite Adept At Bringing Attention To The Public About Any Attacks Upon Our People.

My Continued Incarceration Has Served Some Good Purposes. My Defense Committee Has Served As A Training Ground For Other Organizers In Their Defense Of Freedom And Justice.

If You Look At The Statistics Regarding Native Americans, You Will See That Most Of The Tribes Since The 70s Have Improved Their Economic Situation In Some Form. And This Has Been Brought About By Their Aggressive Assertion Of Their Sovereign Treaty Rights.

No Human Being Should Ever Have To Fear For His Own Life Because Of Political Or Religious Beliefs. We Are All In This Together, My Friends, The Rich, The Poor, The Red, White, Black, Brown And Yellow. We Share Responsibility For Mother Earth And Those Who Live And Breathe Upon Her ..never Forget That.

With What Sovereignty We Have Retained, We Choose To Decide For Ourselves Our Needs In Accordance With Our Values, Exerting Our Rights Of Empowerment Under Those Articles Of The Treaties.
