Remembering the victims of the reign of terror
By Leonard Peltier
For the past thirty-two years supporters have gathered at Oglala to honor the lives that were lost on June 26, 1975 and in the “reign of terror”. This year will be the eighth year that the Oglala Commemoration Committee has sponsored the gathering. For those of us who were unable to physically attend the gathering at Oglala, we each honor and remember this day in our own special way. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of all the victims from the “reign of terror”. In Memory Of:
Frank Clearwater, Buddy LaMont, Sandra Wounded Foot, Leo Wilcox, Clarence Cross, Priscilla White Plume, Julius Bad Heart Bull, Melvin Spider, Philip Black Elk, Aloysius Long Soldier, Phillip Little Crow, Allison Fast Horse, Edward Means, Jr., Edward Standing Soldier, Roxeine Roark, Dennis Lecompte, Jackson Washington Cutt, Robert Reddy, Delphiene Crow Dog, Elaine Wagner, Floyd Bianas, Yvette Loraine Lone Hill, Leon L. Swift Bird, Martin Montileaux, Stacy Cortier, Edith Eagle Hawk, Jeanette Bissonette, Richard Eagle, Hilda R. Good Buffalo, Jancita Eagle Deer, Ben Sitting Up, Kenneth Little, Leah Spotted Elk, Joseph Stuntz, James Brings Yellow, Andrew Paul Stewart, Randy Hunter, Howard Blue Bird, Jim Little, Olivia Bianas, Janice Black Bear, Michelle Tobacco, Carl Plenty Arrows, Frank LaPointe, Anna Mae Pictou Aquash, Lydia Cut Grass, Byron Desersa, Lena R. Slow Bear, Hobart Horse, Cleveland Reddest, Betty Jo Dubray, Marvin Two Two, Julia Pretty Hips, Sam Afraid of Bear, Kevin Hill, and Betty Means. You will always be in my prayers. Do what you can, where you can, from where you stand and -- to quote Sitting Bull – let’s see what kind of nation we can make for our children. I don’t say I love you easily but I want you to know that I love you -- my heart is with you and never, never, never give up!
