4. Statimc NYM “Our ancestors were in possession of our Country
centuries before the whites came. It is the same as
yesterday when the latter came, and like the day
before when the first fur trader came. We are aware
the B.C. government claims our Country, like all
other Indian territories in B.C.; but we deny their
right to it. We never gave it nor sold it to them. They certainly never got the title to the Country from us, neither by agreement nor conquest, and none other than us could have any right to give them title.”

11. What is to be done?

12. Open your eyes … the end Leonard Peltier
Silence, they say is the voice of complicity, But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a message, Just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are ring out and resonate in every word and every deed. Yes, become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you are. You are your own comeuppance. You become your own message. You are the message. May the Great Spirit Make Sunrise in Your Heart... Hoka Hey!
Leonard Peltier
