#Vigil for #LeonardPeltier in #SanFrancisco

Article by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, June 17 2024

SAN FRANCISCO -- "The #PrayerVigil for Freedom for Leonard Peltier, held at the U.S. Department of Justice, honored the #Ohlone people whose land the people stood on, and honored Peltier with a tribute by #PomoYukiResistance. Peltier was remembered for the stand he took for the #Lakota people on #PineRidge before he was imprisoned 49 years ago.

"'It would be very cruel if the parole board denies him his freedom,' said Tony Gonzales, AIM West, pointing out that Peltier's last parole hearing was in 2009. The vigil was held on June 10, the same day as Peltier's parole hearing at Coleman Prison in Florida.

"Peltier's nephew #AdamVillagomez, Dakota Chippewa, said Peltier went to Pine Ridge to help the people.

"'When the grandmas asked for help, to come protect them, to please come help them from being attacked, just for being traditional people, for standing up, standing up for traditional rights, he went there, and put his life on the line and started working with the community.' His mother is the first cousin of Leonard Peltier.

"'They were willing to put their lives on the line,' he said, speaking on living life from the heart.

"The warriors of those days, those in the American Indian Movement, and those here at #Alcatraz, still carry the light of resistance."

Jessica Flores: Two Bay Area Indigenous groups awarded millions in California land stewardship grants

"Two Indigenous groups in the Bay Area will receive millions in newly announced state funds to support the return of tribal land and stewardship projects across #California — part of the state’s ongoing efforts to acknowledge and correct historical wrongdoings to Native Americans.

Gov. Gavin Newom announced last week that 33 Native American tribes and groups will receive $108 million in grants for projects including the return of ancestral land, climate and wildfire resilience projects, and habitat restoration. Funding came from state budgets from the last two years, officials said."
