June 26, 2018~ We all enjoyed our short break

continuing our prayer for Nawacomig by

​ supporting the things he & his life stood for:


especially the prayer for Leonard Peltier to be

freed prom his wrongful imprisonment in


maximum security prison. Events we attended

included a Prayer Run from the school @ Pine


Ridge to the Jumping Bull Ranch with Mike

Shortey, Bad Bear Sampson & Roy Murphy

participating as runners.. Events continued @

the Jumping Bull Ranch (the site of the famous

72 day confrontation with the FBI). Many words

were spoken on the necessity for justice by

Cooney Dog, Jean Roach & many others. Our

Long Walk to Leech Lake team was asked to say

a few words about what we were doing in

Honor of NawaComig & his lifetime of

accomplishments, including the

50thAnniversary of A.I.M. ,& the 40th

Anniversary of the Longest Walks & Runs. I

spoke of the meaning of Longest

Walks~Honoring with Prayer the Ancestors who

perished & suffered in those forced marches

that we might live & praying for the land & all of

our relatives.who are suffering & perishing from

the horribly destructive forces of Colonialism

. Everyone had a turn @ the  mic to introduce

themselves & say a few words except Bad Bear,

​ who was busy smudging the arbor, of course.....
