Build your fires and burn your medicines for Peltier's return home

By Ophelia Rivas, O'odham VOICE Against the WALL

In solidarity to all first peoples of Turtle Island.

Leonard Peltier is not free yet, I urge you to build your fires and burn your medicines for absolute protection for Leonard until he is safely sitting in front of his fire on his homelands.

We shall not ever trust the people that tortured him all these years.

Words on paper historically have not been honored.
