"We have seen how mainstream media is used by the settler states to justify, perpetuate, then make invisible ~yet again~ a genocide in Palestine without consequence. We have seen how the truth is suppressed and how journalists are slaughtered by the dozens. Even they realize that the truth is our greatest weapon. Our power lies in our words. That is why this day is so important- The National Day of Mourning embodies an Indigenous counter narrative that dissolves settler lies. Today, with tongues like sharpened iron we will cut open colonialism and expose its rotten core." -- Demetrius Johnson, Dine', The Red Nation.

Freedom for Leonard Peltier and Palestine at the National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock

PLYMOUTH ROCK -- Freedom and liberation for Leonard Peltier and Palestine echoed across Plymouth Rock on the National Day of Mourning, as Indigenous Peoples exposed the myth of the pilgrims' thanksgiving and the facts of the United States, a government that is founded on genocide, massacres and slavery.

"Though they have entombed me in concrete and steel, I am a free man," Peltier said in a statement to the 55th gathering of the National Day of Mourning on Plymouth Rock, gathered in the pouring rain, and hosted by the United American Indians of New England on Thursday.
