He' :

Sorry I have not been on much. Too many things are going on. Recently as you all know we lost Russell Means, who was one of my favorite people of all time. I learned so much from that man just watching, reading about him and all. Even more recently we've found out that a friend of our's daughter in the United Kingdom who battles the same disease my two daughters crossed over of, is back in the hospital, with seizures, and now at the Helen House recovering. Though they say she is…

At this time I would like to offer up Prayers to the close family of Russell Means who recently passed at the age of 72 years old. He lost his battle with cancer of the throat. I offer my humblest prayers to Creator to keep and guide our Brother on his Sacred Journey. I offer my prayers to the family of this great man in hopes they will be alright through this time of need. I pray for all my relative. Wanishi. Aho.

Leonard Peltier spoke these words today on Columbus Day, as what he rephrased as "Indigenous Day." I cannot say I blame him.

Greetings my relatives and friends, supporters!

I know I say this same line all the time but in reality you all are

my relatives and I appreciate you. I cannot say that enough. Some

of our people, as well as ourselves have decided to call today

IndigenousDay instead of Columbus Day and it makes me really think

about how…

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their sweet and wonderful Birthday wishes. I truly love you all, you are my extended family. I hope this finds you all very well, smiling and laughing. Blessings to you all. Walk in Peace Brothers and Sisters.

Wanishi.
