TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWA NATION -- Speaking on the National Day of Mourning known as "Thanksgiving," freed political prisoner Leonard Peltier said Native people want the massacres of their people to be known.
Peltier said it is already happening again, as can be seen in the deaths of children in Palestine and the Ukraine and what they are trying to do in Iran.
"They're killing thousands and thousands of babies and young children and destroying homes. And this is the same thing they did to us. This is why we got a day of mourning," Peltier said from his home on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Nation.
"We've got to fight to expose these atrocities, it is not over. It's not over for us or it's not over for the rest of the world -- because once they get done with Iran and Palestine and Ukraine, they're going to move to another area."
"They want to be the super race. They want to control the whole world. And we can't let them do that. We won't let them do that," Peltier said in a video address to the National Day of Mourning.
In a separate written statement to the Day of Mourning, Peltier said, "Every day has been a Day of Mourning for a few centuries now."
"Every day has also been a victory. Every one of us is a battle that has been won."
"Our ancestors have survived the slaughter of those who sought to end us. The Trail of Tears. The Wounded Knee Massacre. The endless brutal attacks. The corrupt Washington policy meant to erase us."
