Reflections after reading PRISON WRITING, MY LIFE IS MY SUN DANCE, by Leonard Peltier
This book is a remarkable revealing of the evolution of a beautiful soul. It is extremely moving and painful in the sharing of a life devoted to justice for a people whose only crime was being Indian. Side by side with the Holocaust of Jews, the slavery of the Africans we witness the violence and attempted extermination of the people who were and still are the stewards of "America the Beautiful" from it's very beginning.
He was convicted of the murder of two federal agents and according to the Freedom Of Information Act we learn that the trial was flawed and the "proofs" of his guilt were not there. He has been in prison since 1976 and has been denied parole numerous times though even the FBIs say they still don't know who really killed the two agents.
Inspite of severe health issues and loss of freedom he has grown spiritually into a remarkable human being. His words of the oneness of mankind are inspiring and challenging. Keep him in your hearts and prayers as I will.
When I think of my early blessings of traveling the Red Road path, to discover the Awesome Being Chief Frank Fools Crow while he was still on this side of the veil and hearing the story of Leonard Peltier I realized how blessed I Am! Not becase I came this lifetime as a white woman but because I choose to open my heart to recognize I am One with all the stories of this society and as any family members heart aches for another I ache as well. As my heart feels joy this season of celebration with family I share that as well. Intentionally sending Joy to All!! Peace and blessings family! Sacredflower
