Leonard Peltier is one of the most targeted men in the world. What does that represent? To our enemies he is a very special man. He could be captured by our enemies but could not be killed. He could be hidden and mistreated up to a point. He was presented to the world in one piece with no bruises. Why? The circumstances were very very special. He lived as a prisoner of a war brought on by the white man. His mind remained intact. They could break his body but not his spirit. His reasons for never giving into illegal confinement never changed. He was standing next to nature that was protecting him. He stood up to whatever was coming.\u00a0 He stared at all the forces of evil that were ganging up against one man to show us what was happening to all of us. He was used as an example of what would happen to other indigenous people who stood up. It was our natural warrior spirit. When president Bill Clinton said, “Just say you did it and I will let you go!” Leonard replied, “I can’t because I did not kill them”. Nothing could make him lie. He remained in prison paying for a crime that they knew he diid not commit. He showed and lived the warrior spirit, a strength that we all have. We cannot go against nature. US presidents are just guys we do not put on a pedestal. It is against our way to elevate anyone above us. We know how thoroughly we think about every move we make. All past, present and future spirits were with him. Our enemies refuse to accept peace as you cannot hate and have peace. Peace is what we have amongst ourselves. That is what Leonard personified. It is normal for our enemies to try to destroy us and our people. Those driving us from our land are running away from their truth. The message is: If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
