The Presidential Election of 2000 has come and gone and Leonard Peltier was NOT granted clemency by the outgoing President William J. Clinton. According to news reports, several friends and family of the Clintons are now out of jail and pardoned, with some serving only minimal time of their imposed sentences for their crimes. Somehow, I fail to see the justice in all of this.
Please continue your support for his justified freedom.
DOING TIME
"Doing time creates a demented
darkness of my own imagination...
Doing time does this thing
to you. But, of course,you
don't do time.
You do without it. Or
rather,time does you.
Time is a cannibal that
devours the flesh of your
years.
day by day,bite by bite".

THE CODE TALKERS
It is July 27, 2001 and our second Notable Natives are very close
to my heart for several reasons. Prior to World War II, these young
Navajo men were forced to live away from their families in Native boarding schools where they were punished for speaking in their own language. Just yesterday these courageous men were finally honored for their contributions
to our country's quest for freedom in World War II. My husband served his
country in the Pacific Island of Bougainville, during the same period of
time. He was a Communication Specialist while serving in the U.S. Marine
Corps, 3rd Marine Division and the 6th Defense Batallion.
His personal observations about the Navajo Code Talkers were
given with respect and admiration, coupled with a sense of gratitude
for their skills and contributions to the war effort.
Please read their story here and also visit the links provided for more information.
