Message from Leonard Peltier:

Dear friends,

The LPDC received a phone call from Rosalyn Jumping Bull yesterday.  She is
involved in the "take over" of the tribal office on Pine Ridge.  She says
that this move was lead, for the most part, by elders and they are totally
unarmed.  She explained that the FEMA trailers which replaced the demolished
homes of the recent tornado vicims have very thin walls and are difficult to
heat.  As most of you know, winters on Pine Ridge are harsh, especially when
people are not prepared.  She said that they had been asking the council for
help, but they refused.  They said they had no funds.  They want to know
where the federal and casino monies are going and they want adequate living
conditions to be provided to the people.  I am asking you to support them in
whatever way they request.  They are planning to stay in the building until
an audit of the tribal funds is obtained. I am disapointed that things have
not changed much at Pine Ridge since I have been in prison.

I am told that they need non parishable food, phone cards, bottled water,
blankets, and cigarettes to be sent to them.  If you can help, please send
support items to Rosalyn Jumping Bull:

Box 207
Oglala, SD 57764

I would also like to thank everyone at this time who donated gifts for the
Pine Ridge Holiday Drive.  Geraldine Janis and Rosalyn Jumping Bull wrote to
tell me that they received many very nice gifts which made a lot of children
happy and they appreciate your support.  So, thank you my friends for your
solidarity and cooperation.

In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,

Leonard Peltier
