Sundancer; by Leonard Peltier together with Oliver Shanti Family & Friends.
Lyrics by Leonard Peltier.

Leonard Peltier also known as Tate Wikuwa is a human rights and ecological activist, member of the American Indian Movement. In a trial, which was called a disgrace for the American legal system by the former general attorney Ramsey Clark, he was falsely accused of murdering two FBI agents and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment in 1976. Leonard Peltier is innocent!
But the government wanted to brand him as a criminal and through him the Native American civil rights organisation AIM. Their 'crime'; to protest against the ongoing land-robbery and constant human rights violations committed by the US-government, the FBI and the mining-companies in the reservations of South-Dakota. At that time those companies tried by all means to lay their hands on the mineral resources (mainly uranium) of the Native American Territory. As a consequence of the uranium mining activities the drinking water was poisoned and the death rate among the Native Americans rose dramatically.
Leonard Peltier, a Lakota-Ojibway native American, is a symbol for the justified struggle of his people and it's suffering. The vision of this man, unbroken to this day, is justice, a considerate relation towards Mother Earth and a peaceful co-existence of 'the white man and the red man' through a revival of Native American culture and traditions. This song carries his message into the world and hopefully help Leonard Peltier to finally obtain the right to spend the remainder of his life in freedom, instead of suffering the unspeakable injustice, he has endured until now up to the year 2041!
Under US law he can be freed only by presendential pardon. Countless people have already stood up for his release, amongst them well known personalities as Mother Theresa, H.H. Dalai Lama, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Robert Redford, Harry Belafonte, Richard v. Weizsäcker, Rev. Jesse Jackson and many others.

I think some people need more evidence here to show how Leonard Peltier is innocent. I am not here to argue because I have my evidence. I am a strong supporter of Leonard Peltier and have researched this deeper then those who say he's the killer. I am in contact with LP's Lawyer also. Those of you who wish to call him these bad names I feel sorry for the fact that you dont have all the facts. I am a Native American and I support him and so do many others.

@Natashassxy ; thank you for your comment. But there are also some people who speak bad about Leonard Peltier, not because he's guilty, but they have their own agenda and maybe dislike native Americans speaking up for their rights. I hope that Leonard Peltier will be freed and gets the honor he deserves.

Mitakuye oyasin. Tashi delek, thank you.

Leonard peltier is a cop killer.

[arafel1964]

@DollaBiIIz NOPE, the investigation has never had any proof that he was quilty. Soon I'll upload the docu about this. How the government corrupted witnesses and information. Leonard only protected himself and his reservation against corruption.

Can anyone tell me what CD this song is from... I thought it was Oliver Shanti but it appears not.

Thanx so much!

[arafel1964]

@fergsnando; the song came from a vid from Oliver Shanti called ´Shaman 2´. The words are spoken by Leonard Peltier and the song is called ´Sundancer

No sundance for peltier. He will rot in prison.

[Ahnishinabe]

If you were a real Apache you would listen to your elders. I know Apache elders. He is a punk coward killer. Yes, I know how to solve every American Indian problem, the answer is called truth, taking responsibility and placing your worthless lives under the direction of the elders and regaining your souls, your common sense. Beating your chest because another AMerican Indian tells you the truth means nothing. Accept responsibility for yourself and seek out the facts.

[Ahnishinabe]

Peltier is a punk, a cry baby, a coward. Only punks or people who know nothing support him. American Indians who have souls and lives do not support him. Go ahead and rant and rave, he will never get out of prison. Never. I am Ojibwe, an American Indian and I say these things. What a bunch of suckers.

[varner61293]

@Ahnishinabe You are so enlightened as to know how ALL Natives feel about Leonard Peltier, and how, "crazy white people think". I am impressed. Perhaps you could use your vast wisdom to first solve many of the social, and econimic problems the Native American community faces. After, that you could bring about world peace.

The documents are hidden from the authorities the FBI spent lot of money to brainwash the people by publishing falsehoods books etc as is evidenced by the false evidence which they blame Leonard Peltier FBI has not agreed to do a second autopsy on the body of Anne Mae, which was also cut off the hands corruption and one of the arms of the FBI they not pay for their crimes. They are protected by associations secret, lobbies, which have always been active in the U.S.gov against Native People
