New Hampshire action for Leonard Peltier
Mon, 10 Jan 2000
INVITING all people of conscience to join the New Hampshire Leonard Peltier support group on Saturday, January 15th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Stanton Plaza outside the Center of New Hampshire for a rally.
On January 13th, 14th, and 15th, the College and High School Convention 2000, Democracy in Practice, will be held at the Center of New Hampshire Complex in Manchester, N.H. Most, if not all, of the presidential candidates will be attending and available to the students for questions and discussions at various times throughout this three day event.
Our goal is to inform these young voters of the human rights injustices which have and continue to exist while our democratic principles, as set forth in the Constitution, are not honored.
Featured speakers:
Ben Carnes, of the Chocktaw Nation, versed in native history, culture, music, and spiritual practices. A gifted speaker dedicated to justice for Leonard Peltier.
Harvey Arden, for 23 years a staff writer for national Geographic Magazine, author of several books on indigenous spirituality, and editor of Leonard Peltier’s book, Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sundance.
Rebecca Stoughton, Dakota Sioux singer, drummer, speaker, storyteller will share traditional stories to delight both children and adults.
Paul Tohlakai, Dine’h (Navajo) ceremonial leader and speaker.
The NH LPSG is also encouraging those who are unhappy with the presidential electoral process and are choosing not to take part, to voice your indignation by writing in Leonard Peltier for president.
