BELCOURT, North Dakota -- Leonard Peltier was honored with an Eagle Staff, Star Quilt and Drum Song, as he was welcomed home to Turtle Mountain. Deeply moved by the support, Peltier described how they tried to kill him in prison, and how he survived during his long struggle for justice.

"I spent 49 years straight in prison for something that I didn't do, and was not really legally convicted of," Peltier said, speaking at the Sky Dancer Casino in Belcourt, a day after his release from federal prison.

Running Now on the Sacred Road: Protecting Oak Flat, February 20 -- 23, 2025

 

On Thursday evening, runners were on their way to the Sports Complex as they make their way to Globe/Miami, on the Sacred Road to Oak Flat

By Apache Stronghold, Censored News

For over a decade, the Apache Stronghold has welcomed people of all spirituality and faith traditions to come pray at Chi'chil Biłdagoteel. To witness the power of Oak Flat is to be on a path of healing and hope for those yet to be born. To stop corporate control of the land is to protect the sacred lifeways. And to be part of a prayerful movement that welcomes people is to resist the isolation that forces of oppression depend on.

Please bring your family and friends to join the 11th Annual Oak Flat March and Run, February 20-22, 2025. Many people have returned year after year to welcome the people who find themselves on the walk for the first time. Supporting the Apache and Indigenous leaders of the fight to protect Oak Flat is an opportunity for everyone to be a part of mending the broken circle.

Be in touch if you have questions about participating and spread the invitation flyer below to your communities.
