The Native American Peoples are one of the most enigmatic native peoples of the world, and their traditions are filled with a wealth of knowledge of the world and nature long long before the white man, or western civilisation came to see the wrongs done to the world by irresponsible indisturialisation.
From sayings to songs, and their haunting music that keeps time with the spirits of nature, their ways and experiences are inspiration to many writers including myself.
Leonard Peltier is one of the few political prisoners of the USA held within its juristiction (Guatanamo being ex-terrotorial) and has been in jail since the 1970's for his part in a stand off between the Native Indian Movement and the FBI.
He is the latest in a long line of resistance fighters holding out for their homeland and the ways of their forefathers. |
