Subject: Wild Horse and Pine Ridge
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Below is a message that I am sending out for Wild Horse and for
the
people at
Pine Ridge. After all the confusion and all the writings back
and forth, I
finally tracked down the number and spoke with Wild Horse myself.
He appears
to be an intelligent man who is trying to help. I asked him
several
questions
of which he gave me prompt answers to and even read me some
of the emails
from the GrassRoots at Pine Ridge...complete with time stamps.
I then called
Pine Ridge...I spoke with Harvey White Woman who verified what
Wild Horse
had
told me. And who also verified that he, Wild Horse, was indeed
the one that
they wanted to post the releases for them and to maintain their
web site.
I offer my apologies to Clyde and am sure that some where along
the line
there was much confusion on what was going on. No one at Pine
Ridge has
"met"
Wild Horse...however, they did give him the duty of posting
for them. I am
not sure what happened and I have explained to all that I think
the calls
for
"red alerts" and for "all people" to come up to Pine Ridge concerned
many
people as we did not want to see problems start from a stream
of well
intentioned people streaming into an already tense situation.
I know Clyde
and the rest of AIM and others trying to sort this out..were
only going by
what they heard...that no one "knew" this man...and so and so
said he did
this or that...I, for one, will admit that we need to work on
our
communication and keeping things more ordered in tense situations
like this.
I think a lot of the confusion can be credited to that also...an
extremely
tense situation...gunshots being fired..people screaming...etc.
The
situation
is calmer...things are !
getting out better now. With all due respect to those who were
upset with
Wild Horse, I have to abide by those at Pine Ridge who told
me with their
own
voices that this is the person they have designated as their
internet
source.
(If anyone wishes to complain, gripe, yell or scream...please
contact me
privately and let's not confuse the situation any more than
it already has
been...thank you.)
Below is the press release from the Grass Roots Oglala Lakota Oyate.
PLEASE POST IMMEDIATELY
January 27, 2000
This is to inform all concerned that the web site GrassRootsOyate
supported
by Wild Horse/Sierra Times has been and will be carrying
any and all e-mail
messages we wish to forward, to all concerned in our current
situation.
This is to further advise that we will not acknowledge
and have not
authorized any other parties to speak on our behalf.
This includes all
individuals, organizations, groups, who have taken liberties
to put forth
information regarding situations occurring, here.
We do make every attempt to have a daily press release
to keep everyone
informed. Sometimes, there is some delay because
we remain focused on our
specific goals-have the OST Treasurer permanently removed
due to
malfeasance
and other illegal acts while in office; and a full forensic
audit on the
financial records of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Please understand that each of us, here in the Red Cloud
Building, has
chosen to come here in support of the Grass Roots Oglala
Lakota Oyate
and to
help in whatever manner possible-we all have varying levels
of abilities
and
skills but we think and act in unity and with one vision
and WE, will speak
with one voice.
If you have questions please call us at 605-867-5303 or
605-867-5821.
