In the Spirit of Crazy Horse
A Benefit Concert for Leonard Peltier
Monday November 6, 2017
BOK Center
Tulsa, OK

As some of you may have heard, some good friends of mine are putting on a benefit concert to help me address some of the legal challenges my defense team feels could end in my release. At my age, there simply aren't going to be many more opportunities – so I hope you will consider reading more and helping us by participating in this outstanding event.

Annual School Supply Drive

This annual school supply drive is one of our community projects created to honor Leonard Peltier's vision of empowering the Oglala People to have an active role in defining the future of their tribe. Both Leonard and the committee believe that all have the potential to rise above their given circumstances and to effectively contribute to the preservation of traditional language and spirituality through education in spite of the historical circumstances which sought to deprive the Oglala of their destiny.
