Lower Brule Kul Wicasa Oyate, Sovereign Lakota Territory, March 5, 2014  - When the people of the Kul Wicasa Oyate discovered that their IRA Tribal Council had allegedly signed a secret agreement with TransCanada, without the free, prior and informed consent of the people, regarding the construction of power lines to move tarsands oil through the KXL pipeline, the grassroots people put out a call for help.
A meeting was scheduled and within a few hours relatives from Rosebud, Cheyenne River and Rapid City, as well as three vehicles full of members of Owe Aku's Moccasins on the Ground, caravaned to Lower Brule to lend our support and assist our brothers and sisters in their struggle.  The message: we are one Lakota Oyate and we will not permit the destruction of our land and water by anyone and we will protect it for future generations.
YOU CAN HELP US WITH THIS KIND OF ACTION BY CONTRIBUTING TO OUR TRANSPORTATION FUND WHICH IS ENTIRELY MADE UP OF DONATIONS OF $10 AND $20 FROM PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WILLING TO HELP.  VISIT OUR WEBPAGE ATWWW.OWEAKUINTERNATIONAL.ORG IN ORDER TO BE A PART OF THIS CRITICAL MOVEMENT.  Owe Aku's Website for Information and Donations.WOPILA.
We look forward to young warriors and activists from the Kul Wicasa Oyate participating in the Moccasins on the Ground training to be held at Rosebud the weekend of April 25th.  To be added to our email list in order to receive more information email us at oweakuinternational@me.com.
