AIM & Cheap Treats

August 25, 2012

ElivaDeth Wade received an Allstate insurance policy promotions package yesterday. It looked like a Eliva Deal.

Eliva Deth passed it to appropriate review groups, after the telemarketing company  from which it originated was located. Amazing how a few phone calls can locate timestamps and dates for tracking even the simplest forms of data input and transferal in these modern days of high technology.

Sending your cheap ill medicine  back boys, enjoy what you try to send, upon it’s return.

Justice for Annie Mae Petition

She Stood Alone with Truth


….

June 21, 2004 we brought Annie Mae back to her homeland. For almost three decades her family and nation have campaigned and demanded justice. For 29 years her murderers have walked free and fed conspiracy lies and propaganda to the public uncontested to hide the truth. In 2004 it was exposed to the public that it was in fact AIM members acting on AIM leadership orders who kidnapped, interrogated, beat, and executed Annie Mae. Her murderers have lied and conspired to hide the truth for over three decades, which also included their denial and complicity in her murder. Currently now that the truth has been exposed they have changed their position from saying that the fbi shot Annie Mae to ” the feds made them kill one of their own women” The Aim leadership, and Leonard Peltier currently publically support Annie Maes murderer John Graham who was convicted for the kidnapping felony murder of Annie Mae in Dec. of 2010. Please see the links below for more details. –Denise Pictou Maloney-

A tad bit of something for those who deserve beautiful songs

….

Progress shows itself in the most peculiar ways

Where is the Justice?

Where is the Support?

Where is the Concern?

The Murders are overshadowed and ignored by instances 

such as 2012 Campaign Issues

  • Pe Sla – Land Acquisition – Sacred Land
  • Justice for Vern Traversie – Racism
  • San Francisco Peaks – Religious Freedom – Sacred Land
  • Holy Man –  Court Systems –  Racism
  • White Clay – Alcohol Sales –  Racism

Denise Pictou Maloney   from Justice for Annie Mae fb page

I agree with you Dennis in that the whole story has to be told. From my mothers’ families’ side of things it is being told. Nothing has been shared from the side of the leadership of AIM or Leonard Peltier except for silence and now lies and excuses. They have never contacted our family in 35 years nor have they taken any responsibility in their complicity but to make excuses and support my mothers’ murderers.

Many have assumed that because they were reading about my mother and watching movies made 20 years ago or earlier that they were up to speed in the events surrounding my mothers’ murder. I can now confidently say they were not. Because we sat in silent mourning for many years with no answers our selves, with only suspicions based on what our mother told us the last time we saw her, most of what you have read was probably very biased and one sided.

I cannot express here the devastation our family felt to learn that not only were our suspicions correct but that there was a conspiracy that lasted almost 28 years that involved dozens of people my mother believed were her friends to hide the truth from being exposed. It was the actions of several people who could no longer live with the guilt anymore who exposed the truth that my mother was murdered by AIM members.

I got confirmation of this truth directly from AIM members which was then further confirmed when we went to trial. I can tell you that our family has no loyalties to anyone else but my mother and has no reason but to speak the truth. We are not protecting anyone or trying to keep ourselves from being indicted. Even until recently the only individuals who had written books or made movies were those with direct knowledge or connection with those who were involved in my mother’s murder. Our family has done two documentaries in the last 10 years, one for CBC and one for NFB and has not written or endorsed any books.

SO I would encourage you to contact me directly or ask your questions here and I will answer them as best I can. Our family has never denied that there wasn’t corruption occurring on all levels back during that era when my mother was murdered. Her murderers and their accomplices (the AIM leadership and Leonard Peltier) and their supporters have gone from stating that; the FBI shot my mother; to they knew nothing about her murder but the FBI shot her; to they knew nothing about her murder but knew enough to support her murderers and that I am a fed; to most recently now that the truth has been exposed, the fbi made them shoot her, or that there was an infiltrator and that I am still a fed.

Our family though aware of the injustices that our communities suffer from everyday at the hands of the colonizers WILL NOT use the fbi or anyone else as an excuse to sugar coat the fact that aim members acting on aim leadership orders murdered one of their own women and then lied about it for 36 years and are currently publically supporting her murderer John Graham. That in itself breaks so many traditional laws and IF the cowards who did this to my mother were the traditional warriors they claim to be, this would have been handled 36 years ago.

YES all those that were involved need to be held accountable, and will be if I have anything to do with it. BUT going after the conspirators before the murderers and accomplices is backwards and won’t accomplish anything but delays, say like, a 36 year delay. I have heard a lot in the last while about infiltrators and my challenge to those who are making such claims is bring it, speak your truth, and show the evidence. Not rumor and gossip that you have heard from those involved in my mothers’ murder but proof.

I invite all those who have evidence that the FBI were involved directly or that there was an infiltrator involved in my mother’s murder to step forward and speak their truth. But understand this, though there are some who are hoping real hard to be able to stick it to the feds by proving the feds knew or peripherally were involved in my mother’s murder and it may bring them comfort in being able to say “see I told you so”, that will do little to excuse or justify the betrayal and responsibility of those my mother committed her life to, and considered family and friends, in the kidnapping, interrogating, beating, executing and dumping of her body on the side of the road like an animal.

People talk a lot about hate, division, and conspiracy, there is your hate, what they did to my mother, is incomprehensible. Nothing would have been spiritually easier and more expected for some than to be able to prove that the FBI murdered my mother as AIM leadership and my mother’s murderers lied about for over two decades. BUT to have those who have now been proven in 4 trials, that resulted in 2 convictions, a guilty plea and an acquittal, to be directly involved in her murder use the feds as their scapegoat without acknowledging their complicity? is incredibly repugnant, disgusting and cowardly.

While the AIM leadership and Leonard will reinvent themselves and take on the causes of the day to garner support and popularity to appear that they have moral scruples I will continue to speak the truth. And if necessary after me so will my children and my nation until this is dealt with and the WHOLE truth is exposed. IF there was any infiltrator involvement then the AIM leadership must have had proof, and the fact that they CHOSE to lie and hide that fact till now to avoid having to take responsibility in the fact that they murdered one of their own women, speaks volumes to their moral integrity.

I have no loyalties but to that of my mother and nation, and clearly my mother’s murderers have run out of time and lies, I am not associated with the FBI in anyway, I am not a fed, a pig, or FBI pawn. The fact that all my mothers murderers and their supporters can do to defend themselves is to engage in a bad jacketing campaign against me and my mothers supporters ( not unlike the one they set my mother up with) should be a big eye opener to the public. I am the daughter of a murder victim who actually did what my mother taught me was my right in demanding unconditional truth.

I don’t have money, fancy lawyers, badges, flags to wave, or clubs to back me up, just the plain and simple truth and a handful of what I consider to be human being who recognize truth when they see it. For me and my nation that is enough. My mother’s truth is now known, whether people accept it or not is their cross to bear.

Sept 5th, 2012

I have been  conservative with comments up to this point, with this Blog entry. People can put on, as much duct tape and band aids  or even change the brand name of AIM.  It is what it is.

I will “never” shore up with People who Excuse Murdering Rapist Liars, that  hijacked the Lakota Spiritual Legacy and continue to conduct ceremony with the blood of innocents on their hands .

-Choupique-

****

If the guardianship of Pe Sla returns to 1st Nations “under legal terms”, People should keep in Focus, it occurred from the work and efforts of 1st Nations Leadership and the current “titled owners”.

Not by the likes of those who align themselves with people that have deceived 1st Nations and the World for 30+ years.  LRI and the Lakota Peoples Law Project,  can toot their horn and wave their flags all they want from their podiums. It is what it is,  AIM at work , deceiving the World.

Considering the complexity and Dynamics involved with this issue ,  this blog entry will change its comments and layout with sporadic updates to try and maintain some form of continuity to the events and how “the return of these lands”, unfold

….

Aug23, 2012: It is obvious  the Reynolds did a fantastic job with preserving, to the best of their ability , the lands that were titled to them because of  boundaries initiated on this continent. For so long they kept the footprint of commercialization off of those lands and have now elected, for the guardianship , to change hands.

There is no doubt  entities, the Reynolds Family warded off for so many years, are pushing to gain a stronghold,  to exploit the spirituality that resides within. The sad part,  some of those entities are now cloaked within the Nations of  Ancestry the Reynolds Family strived to protect.

The auction of the Reynolds Property went public as early as June 3rd 2012. June 3rd is  the upload date at the auctioneer’s website for the image of the tracts of land for sale.

“According to Sicangu Lakota elder Albert White Hat, Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Rodney Bordeaux and Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community Chairman Stanley R. Crooks have been discussing the matter of buying land at Pe Sla on behalf of their respective tribes in South Dakota and Minnesota.”

“South Rochford Road,   …  is being considered for paving, realignment and drainage-structure additions. (….) Pennington County, the Federal Highway Administration is in the process of preparing a South Rochford Road Project environmental impact statement (EIS). (….)

AIM Tactics of Deception  at Work Again

Deceiving the Global Community for a Money Grab, Disguised as a Cause to Save Sacred Land

Aug23, 2012: Since early July 2012, the Chairman of SMSC, Mr. Stanley Crooks  was working with Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Rodney Bordeaux for an auction bid proposal. The Mdewakanton Sioux Tribe’s Community gaming (SMSC),  in 2010 and 2011 alone, gave to outside of their community, 100 million plus to  donations and funding.

Why was the global community led to believe  the Lakota Nation needed financial help? Those in NDN country that know of Mr. Crooks accomplishments , understand the purchase of Pe Sla was a done deal as soon as SMSC sat at the table. (SMSC OutReach Page)

There was no need for LRI to start a money raising petition at the witching hour, 14 days before the auction. This is such a typical give now, or forever miss your chance scam.

When one compares the above news release from indianz.com to the statements made by Chase Iron Eyes of Lastrealindians and AIM Affiliates to gain support for their “money” raising petition, it is obvious their call for  assistance is based on deceptive  comments and a self serving mentality.

It’s an insult to the global community for using  deception and environmental fear mongering comments within their request  and definitely not necessary to gain public support. The character and mentality of “their” presentation should raise flags as to whether or not “they” are worthy to be  representing the Lakota , or any other Nation, especially when “they” do_not make the global community aware of the other Nations who hold ceremonial connections to Pe`Sla. In doing so, “they” display their all me mentality, “it is mine.”

The Fund Raising Petition by Chase Iron Eyes and AIM Affiliates States

“It is likely that the state of South Dakota will put a road directly through Pe’ Sla and open up this sacred place for development.” (roads already exist & no new roads are planed)

“Yet we are trying to work within the current U.S. laws to regain custody of our sacred sites and prevent future road and industrial development.” (what “industrial development?, something like oil or mining companies?)

****

Aug23, 2012: Initially the global community was told the request for money, was for Auction Bids of tracts up for sale within Pe`Sla, auction date Aug 25, 2012. Their petition goal of 1million dollars is well short of the 6-10 million needed to be a successful high bid for purchase of all tracts or one tract alone.

Five days before the auction, new reasons for the Petition, are assigned. Not mentioned on the petitions main page, but tucked away on the petition updates page, the new primary reason for the petition is to collect  1 million dollars.

Three days before the auction, the fund raising petition deadline is extended for another 17 days. This  put Chase Iron Eyes and AIM affiliates collecting funds well beyond the auction date of Aug 25, 2015.

Two days before the auction, the Reynolds cancel the auction without giving a reason for doing so. (Mr. Stanley Crooks in Hospital?)

****

Aug23, 2012: The initial reason for the fund raising petition  to bid at the auction for tracts of land for sale within Pe`Sla, turns out to be, just what it is in reality. A SCAM …. Using Sacred Land …. Deceiving  …. the Global Community…. For Money

Timeline  –  of petition changes and other updates/events

 June 3: Brock Auction Website: date of tracts image uploaded to web server,  Auction made public at least by this day. (note: 3+ months before petition was initiated)

July 11: indianz.com Rosebud Tribe President Rodney Bordeaux and Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community Chairman Stanley R. Crooks have been discussing the matter of buying land at Pe Sla (note: Shakopee in 2010 & 2011 gave to outside of their community 100 million plus in funding and donations. Anyone in NDN country who knew of Mr. Crooks accomplishments understands , the Pe Sla purchase was a done deal as soon as he got involved.)

Aug 1: LRI fb page:  post about  Rosebud and Shakopee working together for Pe Sla.

Aug 9: LRI fb page: 1st post of fund raising petition to “Save Pe Sla”. (note: 14 days to raise 1 million dollars  for all tribes associated with purchase, presents petition as for the “Lakota Nation” that the tribes supported the effort. The campaign was set up as  “Flexible Funding” , funds are kept  even if the goal is not met, funds are not returnable. There was never an intent to return funds to donators   if a bid for auction was unsuccessful.The petition was presented to purchase auction land for the “Nation”, the goal is not enough to buy one tract of the 5 up for sale. Why start a fund raising campaign knowing the estimated land value to be 6-10 million, aside from Shakopee already involved with Rosebud Tribe for a bid?   The funds are eventually given to Rosebud Tribe as part of earnest money to  secure a purchase agreement for the Rosebud Tirbe to title the land.)

Aug 20: petition intent changes: Sara Jumping Eagle:Our main focus continues to be purchasing the Pe’ Sla land that is being auctioned off on August 25, 2012. Our contingency plan at this time, is to put the funds towards purchasing and protecting other_lands that_may also become available” (note: 5 days before auction, LRI allocates the money if not successful with a purchase, to other lands within Pe Sla.  such as  Borderlands Ranch?, who as per their webpage, conducts “Spiritual Pilgrimages“   based on Anglican, Lakota, Celtic teachings intermixed. In other words pay to pray ceremonies that includes SunDances and Sweats. The Lutheran Episcopal Reverend  is adopted by Rosebud Tribe. Reverand Kramer is conducting a different fund raiser for 120 acres  in Pe Sla)

also note: bottom of page at, Friends of Borderlands (which includes  past pilgrims who are part of  the spiritual community that Borderlands Ranch is building ,  people who gives back yearly, or whenever),  has recently secured a primary portion of the 120 acres, and is waiting for Borderlands Ranch to raise  funds for title.

Aug. 22, petition intent changes: lasrealindians: ” Campaign Team has decided to extend our fundraising deadline in order to raise more funds towards our goal of $1 million dollars. (note: 3 days before auction LRI extendes petition deadline to 12 days beyond Auction date.  to buy other_lands, or grab as much money as possible?)

Aug. 23petition site: Sara Jumping Eagle: Auction canceled on direction  of  owners representative. (note: owners give no reason for cancellation, thou Mr. Stanley Crooks of Shakopee is in the hospital at this time and likely not to attend the auction on the 25th)

Aug. 23. South Dakota Public Radio Chase Iron Eyes with Linda Kramer speak about Pe Sal. Chase Iron eyes questioned about creation story and quotes arvol looking horse and follows up on comments about energy that  initial speaker Rosalie Little Thunder’s made about energy emitting from Pe Sla. Chase refers to Pe Sla as “our” land and and Does_Not mention the other Nations that have ancestral connections to Pe Sla. Rosalie Little Thunder says the purchase could open up opportunities for the  Tribe as in singular, not the Lakota Nation. Linda Kramer says her Ranch is right in the Heart of Pe Sla, “inter faith” and because she is an Episcopal priest she holds Episcopal services just as Lakota Ceremonies are held at the ranch. Kramer mentions she purchased the land at development pricing and the reason it’s market value is in the development status is  because one can not make money from ranching. Kramer makes on comments about the “spiritual community” she has been building for 15 yrs. Chase says the Lakota Nation “owns” Pe Sla. Chase speaks about respect from others for Pe Sla. No mention of auction cancellation new release  this same day

(note:  This pretty well answers why they both deleted postings on their fb sites that questioned if fund raising money would be used to purchase other_land such as the 120 acres  Borderlands Spiritual Ranch is trying to title. Pretty sad that no one else’s ancestry is supported by Chase, and that Rosalie speaks of opportunities for the “tribe” not the Lakota Nation.

Aug. 25,  news release:   Mr. Stanley Crooks died day of auction.

Aug. 27?, tribal webpage:  Rosebud Tribe put protectpesla.org website on hold , removing lastrealindians contact info and fund raising petition links  (note: Chase promoted use of this page, thou never gave an update when it was put on hold, why? , comment from tribe , “Not sure what LRI is doing” & LRI “should not be changing gears”, Tribe publicly disassociates itself with LRI?)

Aug. 28 IndianCountryToday News, ” In a collective effort of several tribes, an offer was made. (note: 2 days after Mr. Crooks death, the councils did a rush to get an offer out to the Reynolds)

Aug. 28 fb post to LRI & Borderlands Ranch: “questioned LRI will petition money be used for 120 acres of land Borderlands Ranch is fund raising for, questioned Borderlands if offered will they accept money from LRI” (note: both fb sites deleted post with questions, Silence speaks Volumes)

Aug. 28 petition intent changes: Sara Jumping Eagle,  “any funds will go directly towards offsetting costs for tribes that need to continue to benefit Lakota families everyday living needs.” (note: petition money no longer for land within Pe Sla?)

Aug. 29 petition intent changes: Sara Jumping Eagle,  posts a “Clarification” , Changes petition intent back to original. (note: petition intent changes back to original intent, to include other_lands?)

Aug. 29, fb post to LRI: LRI should keep their intent of the petition money collected , to go to all tribes that are involved with the purchase of Pe Sla. Does LRI intend on trying to submit all the money to “one” tribe? (note: post deleted by LRI Aug 31st, Silence speaks Volumes)

Aug. 31tribal press release Rosebud Tribe Official Press released , progress report “Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association to act as a spokesperson” … “many tribes working together” , The Rosebud Tribal Council expressed its wish to work with other tribal concils on the management of the site, if the site is finalized in Rosebuds favor”(note: GPTC assigned as public voice for the Lakota Nation, LRI continues to present itself as speaking for the “Nation” ,  The funds went to Rosebud Tribe for earnest money to secure a purchase, for Rosebud hold title to the land, one tribe does not constitute the nation. Chase led the global community to believe he was speaking for the “Nation”)

Aug. 31, fb post to LRI:  “questioned if petition money will go to the many tribes mentioned in the tribal press release or strictly to Rosebud” (note: LRI deleted post question, Silence speaks Volumes)

Aug. 31, LRI fb post:“Upcoming Rally, LRI joins with Lakota Peoples Law Project for Rally to save Pe Sla” (note:  more AIM affiliates  pop their heads up, ThunderHawk, Abourezk)

Sept. 3th, LRI press release: LRI uses the clause the Lakota pilgrimage site Pe’ Sla  for the Sioux Nation“  (note:  Pilgrimage? , as in the definition of Borderlands Ranch “Spiritual Pilgrimages” , the pay to pray house  noted on Aug 20th ?)

Sept. 4 , indiancountry today news release: Iron Eyes described the process by which his organization, Last Real Indians, conducted a fundraising effort to save Pe’ Sla, raising $300,000. This sum was combined with $1.3 million put forth by the Rosebud Sioux tribe, enough to seal the land deal.(note: the petition money 300k is applied as  part of 1.3 million earnest money used to secure a purchase for Rosebud to “titled” the land. One tribe alone is not the “Nation” was the intent of the petition.  LRI’s has consistently stated “for the Lakota Nation”. The reason for Rosebud Tribe receiving the funds for earnest money to secure  title, was because not all tribes were in agreement with the purchase criteria which was suppose to have been established according to Chase saying the tribes supported him, i.e he was representing the Lakota Nation.)

 

 

Sept. 5, 8pm petition site: 323,870 raised, 3 days left to end of fund raising. (note: is the fund raising money  “only” for Rosebud to title the land, it sounds like there is a push for “soul ownership” , Rosebud is the Tribe that Adopted Linda Kramer, the Luthern Episcopal Reverend who owns the pay to pray spiritual pilgrimages that includes sweats and sun dances)

….

 Considering all above, especially aug 20th and sept 3rd, 4th, 5th  entries, the more this unfolds, the more it looks like there is an intent by some people to  to create a pay to pray and play red light district.

** More Deception, New Fund Raising  Put into Play **

LPLP Declairs LRI and themselves as Sioux Leaders & Schedule Celebration Rally leading the global community to believe Pe Sla has been Saved

 

Sept 1,  petition site: Sara Jumping Eagle, The Oceti Sakowin could not have accomplished this historic feat without everyone around the world supporting their efforts. (note: petition constituted 1/3 of 1 million, for the estimated 6-10 million needed for purchase)

Sept 3 Lakota Peoples Law Project fb page: “Dear friends, breaking news: the tribes have won the purchase of Pe’ Sla! Our event this Wednesday in Rapid City will be a celebration! Please LIKE and SHARE this post to spread the word…And join us Wednesday!” (note: how will the tshirt sales, fund raising monies be accounted for? , Kiss it good bye if it is anything like LRI’s fund raising rally for Vern Traversie)

AND

“Dear supporters! Here is LPLP’s press release announcing the immanent purchase of Pe’ Sla by the Sioux Nation. In it we show a video of Sioux leaders Chase Iron Eyes, Robin Lebeau, Madonna Thunder Hawk, and Phyllis Young making public statements about the land deal at an event we helped organize at the Cheyenne River Pow Wow last Saturday. Please LIKE and SHARE this post!”  (note: Deception of   who Tribal Leaders are, Categorized themselves as Sioux Leadership)

Sept. 3,  LRI fb page:  Sioux Leaders of Pe’ Sla Land Movement in S.D. Announce Deal Between Tribes and Land Owner and Call for Unity Among Reservations; Celebration Rally Planned for Rapid City

AND

reply to  LRI YouTube Press Release:

  • Morwen SandGreat news!! I think over the next few years you may get streams of tourists from around the world, all wanting to pray at Pe Sla.
  • (note: Expect a Pay to Pray Toll Booth , How will it be justified?)

Sept 4 Borderlands Ranch fb page:  Kieran Conroy:  From the original asking price estimates, even if the Lakota talked them down I suspect fundraising will be very important, not to mention covering taxes/other fees.

Wonder if this might improve the chances of that combined conservation area the Ranch has been working to promote?  (note: Does Borderlands  have designs on the fund raising money)

Sept 5,  LPSG fb page: “a deal has been reached for the sale of Pe’Sla to a group of nine tribal governments.” (note: for a max sale price of 10million , that would be 1.1 million from each tribe, petition funds were at 320,000 which equates to approx 35,500 each of the 9 tribes would not have to shuck out)

To date, Sept. 6,  LRI continues to present themselves, to the global community as spokespersons for the Lakota Nation while assisting Rosebud Reservation only?

read more ….

Sept 6th; after LRI applied to Rosebud Tribe approximately 3ook for earnest money for Rosebud Tribe to title land, LRI continues push for more Fund Raising stating “the funds collected thus far only provided a seat at the table for negotiations.”

Sept 8th , Fund raising closes: according to indiegogo.com , the fund raising petition was set up as “flexible” , no funds are returnable , if you don’t reach your goal the fee is 9% , 3% for credit card processing, plus a $25 wire fee for non-U.S. campaigns. Currency exchange fees may also apply.

9267 funders generated 389000 on the counter at closing of the petition, how much will be available after fees?, How much will actually go to  Rosebud to Title the land.

The above raised does not include the direct donations to Rosebud Tribe that was offered  an alternative option by the fund raising campaign. How much was donated directly to the Tribe? Nor does the above  include Fund Raising at the Sept. 5th Rally.

**** Sept 9, An excellent example of the AIM mentality if someone asks for transparency, expect  accusations and insults and the mob character to show itself.

Sept 9, Pe`Sla Offiial FB page, Ruth Hopkins, Petition Site  Editor/Organizer replies to Transparency Question/understanding of Funds that are to be recieved after fees. (note:  104,613 is mentioned in fees , It seems that amount is grossly miscalculated. Hopefully LRI will correct, Validate how much the fees were , to correct the assumptions for what the available amount will actually be. I doubt the global community will ever receive from LRI any transparency on the final contributions and how the money was applied considering the reply at the above link and since to date, LRI has not been transparent with the Justice for Vern Rally fund raising monies. Interesting Ruth Hopkins says funds are not released unless there is a purchase and fails to mention “Indiegogo’s Flexible Funding campaigns, contributions made by PayPal are sent directly to the campaign owner at the same time that the contribution is made.”  Wondering if the Lakota Nation is suppose to be represented by threats, accusations, 1/2 truths. If the thread gets deleted , it will be a fine example of what the public can expect about transparency.

Change in Campaign fund usage , the funds are not being used as part of the earnest money Rosebud Tribe used for bid acceptance according to press release statements from Rosebud Tribe Chairman

Sept 11, API News ;Tribe’s bid accepted for South Dakota land, ROSEBUD | The owners of nearly 2,000 acres of pristine grassland prairie have accepted a $9 million bid by the Rosebud Sioux, tribe President Cyril Scott told The Associated Press. The Rosebud Sioux already has paid $900,000 as an earnest deposit; the remaining $8.1 million is due in November….. An online campaign to help the tribe buy the land raised nearly $390,000. The campaign ended last weekend. (note: 390,000 is before indiegogo fee’s and other fee’s are applied)

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe is looking to see if it can cover the remaining land cost itself, Schmidt said. If not, the cost could be spread among the roughly 20 tribes that make up the Great Sioux Nation,Rosebud secured money for the earnest payment from the Indian Land Tenure Foundation of Little Canada, Minn., and its subsidiary, the Indian Land Capital Co. Foundation President Chris Stainbrook said his organization was contacted by the tribes before the planned auction to see whether they could help them finance a bid.(note: Last week LRI reported 300k was combined with  1.3 million from Rosebud Tribe for an earnest security deposit. the bid acceptance press release today states 900K? The LRI campaign funds are not listed in the api press release as part of the earnest money for purchase.
Campaign team member “LIAR” Sara Jumping Eagle , wife of Chase Iron Eyes,  refuses a simple request to post the actual amount of funds available from the petition campaign after indeigogo service fees and other fee’s, nor the amount their campaign option offered which was direct deposits to the Tribe, nor the fund raising at the
Sept 5 rally, so much for transparency.
Why are the campaign funds not being used  or have all the funds been directed to “Rosebud Tribe”?, Sara Jumping Eagle said 1/3 million of the 1.3 earnest money in the Sept 4 press release, was from the campaign funds, and now the Campaign funds are not included in the list for earnest money in the api press release today for bid acceptance?)

Sept 12, Pe Sla official campaign fb page:  Joseph Camps Highcountry: Maybe LRI could discuss to convert some land near or in Rapid city under the Great Sioux Nations and 1851 Treaty and build a Joint Truist Headquarters for the tribes. Maybe LRI and other organizations can have offices there. Maybe call it an Embassy. ?” (note:  If not in an Embassy needs Ambassadors, would this idea fall under other_lands for campaign monies to use for?)

Sept 12, Indian Country Today: According to A. Gay Kingman, the executive director of the Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association and member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, the tribes have confidence they will be able to generate the $8.1 million necessary to purchase Pe’ Sla. “I foresee this as an achievement that we can reach,” she says.  “I think they are very confident.” (…) In light of comments made online, some at Rezinate.Wordpress.com, questioning the credibility of the money raised by LastRealIndians.com and how the money would be spent, Iron Eyes said the funds will fully go toward the purchase of Pe’ Sla. (….) Kingman also spoke in Iron Eyes’ defense and about the money his organization has raised.(note: interesting how Kingman who is connected to the hip pockets of Dennis Banks  is mentioned as a supporting voice for Chase Iron Eyes to try and give him and lastrealindians credibility, especially when she uses AIM within her  campaigns of advocacy. Mrs. Kingman is another that believes it is alright to excuse and then shore up with people that have the blood of innocents on their hands. It is for the cause you know. 
Get Ready for more fund raising without Transparency , it looks as if the fund raising will start getting shuffled around, hopefully not lost through holes in the floor. What else would one expect from Liars?

Sept 13,15,16 , Rapid City Journal, Local Newspaper: Here comes the PR campaign for Borderlands Ranch, Churches, future support fund raising campaign for Schools, Institutions etc as next targets for fund raising. The 3 articles published by the Rapid City JournalLocal Newpaper runs articles of spin off of christian demonaitons supporting quest to save Pe Sla while praising Linda Kramer as the great white hope for saving Pe Sla. Which appears to be nothing more than a PR campaign to promote the efforts of Borderlands Ranch that is trying to raise funds to titel 120 acres of Pe Sla and categorize it as “Sacred Land”.

Sept 18, ArgusLeader News ;Local Newspaper Tribe wants to put land into trust. “Counties typically hesitate to see land placed into trust because they don’t want to lose the ability to collect property taxes off of it, the attorney general said. They lose control over zoning issues on trust land, too, and law enforcement is more complex when trust land is next to private property.” (….)
“The Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s meeting also should touch on what to do with the land once it is in tribal hands. Schmidt said he envisions a use agreement that gives all tribal people access to the property.“It would be nice to get a facility there at Pe’ Sla where people could gather, have restrooms, where they could sleep or eat food. That would be warranted,” Schmidt said. (….)
” I would like to see some type of facility where we could teach classes and have gatherings out of the elements. Maybe run 20 to 50 buffalo, and maybe have tipis set up.””In 2005, Pennington County received a federal earmark for $9 million to improve an 11.5 miles of gravel road from Deerfield Lake through Pe’ Sla and up to the old mining town of Rochford. County Highway Superintendent Hiene Junge has said improving that road will happen in any scenario.” (note: Rosebud Tribe pushing for complete control of land, which is a good thing to some degree, except that it gives the “tribe” full regulation of “soul ownership”. Seems to be the first step towards a “LastRealIndians Borderlands Education and Spiritual Center” , Linda Kramer pops her head up again

The Reverend Kramer is quite the multi-tasker, on one webpage she aligns with the Lutheran Faith, the next site with the Episcopal Faith, the next site as an adopted Lakota by Rosebud Tribe, on the next site as a Celtic traditionalist , on the next site an advocate to save Pe Sla, quite amazing how she can remember which money tree she is standing under while she continues to build her “spiritual community’ to enable her to purchase and title more of Pe Sla for “her_self” – GeriSmith-

A  Challenge for Chase Iron Eyes and  AIMster Affiliates

Is the Deception Necessary & Representative of the Lakota Nation, Beliefs & Customs?

Please provide to the public , a press release, or any creditable information that backs up your comments that the State is going to build a road directly through Pe’ Sla and any creditable information that shows intent for industrial development. And for the comment, “ to potentially be bulldozed into a road or a golf course.” and why the comment has now been removed from the Aavaz petition, created by Sara Jumping Eagle

****

Hopefully the auction cancellation  put the  funds collected from deception , on hold, and not allow Chase Iron Eyes and Affiliates to use the monies for any other reason other than the original statements of the  petition. That is to purchase land within Pe`Sla.

from lastrealindians petition page:

All donations to the tribe are tax-deductible and will only be used toward the purchase of Pe’ Sla.

from the indiegogo petition site:

By contributing to the effort of all the Sioux Tribes, we aim to purchase at least some of the tracts, if not all.

****

Order in which heads popped up, AIM affiliates, Arvol Looking Horse, Winona LaDuke, S. James Anaya, who’s next ? the old AIM leadership  or James Abourezk.

****

This is Rich !

Sara Jumping Eagle, says she created the fund raising petition, She is Married to ChaseIronEye,  she says she is not affiliated with LRI and says she knows nothing about AIM  ?

Aug23, 2012: How can the likes of those promoting the petition ask the global community for assistance when they  endorse and support the murders of Annie Mae , they have not lifted a finger to assist in Justice for Annie Mae Pictou Aquash who was murdered by AIM members by the orders of AIM leadership, and the 20+ AIM members that watched her death march in the last 24 hours of her life lied to everyone or stayed silent for 25+ years , up until convictions in 2004 & 2011.

It is very evident Justice for murdered innocent Women is not a priority of their concerns.  “A Nation is not conquered until the hearts of  it’s  Women lye on the Ground”

Early Cultural Area’s & Language

from the Smithsonian

View in Google Earth

Aug23, 2012: Keep in mind, the above map’s boundaries are static from the European mapping mindset, such as lines initiated by  manifest destiny which created a vertical border across this continent for control and regulation.  Prior to those times , boundaries here were dynamic, i.e they moved and normally that movement was not generated by widespread annihilation for resources. This is not to say people did not club one another, or assimilate one another during those times of existence.

“Have they forgotten others roamed the Black Hills before they did? Others like the Arikara, Arapahoe, Pawnee, Kiowa, and Cheyenne. (…) Pe Sla is much more than “Lakota Sioux Sacred Land” as in a singular context. I would encourage any who are able to contribute to this effort-and to do so in the name of the Nations, plural. That would speak to an understanding and unity that seems to be missing.” -Rezinate- Read More ….

****

 Who will grab the Funds ?

****

Time to Ask the Hard Questions

“Seems as though now the funds raised to purchase pe sla have undergone yet another metamorphosis-no longer is it about purchasing pe sla, no longer is it about purchasing “other” land that may or may not be for sale-now it is about distributing it among needy families. (…)

I want know, and I believe any who donated should as well, who is going to be in charge of distributing this money-what is the criteria-and who is going to be charging a handling fee for their services?

In addition I would like to know how much Banks and Clyde received for their “appearance” at the Vern Traversie rally-how much was raised in total, and how much of it did Traversie actually receive?

This all leads me back to my suggestion that an effort be made to designate pe sla as a World Heritage site and avoid all this confusion and talk of singular nation ownership.” –Rezinate

****

A World Heritage Site as suggested above in Rezinate’s blog , would  not allow the all me mentality  to take control of those sacred lands. It would stop the Monarchy structure that is not “inclusive” , such as the mentality and structure of the Monarch’s that cloned into AIM leadership.

Not a good idea to put Pe Sla under the control of “a single”  Tribe, when it was utilized by many, which is something Chase Iron Eyes and AIM affiliates fail to mention in their request to the global community, if that land were to go into some common trust between all concerned nations, it would pretty much guarantee the lands would not be used for a pay to pray and play Disney land casino concept , exploiting spirituality and ancestry like a cash crop.

Considering those currently involved with spearheading the money raising campaign , and those they align themselves with, the playground concept is not far fetched for many who understand their mentality and character.

I am sick and tired of people pointing the finger at one another, especially those who drag up distant atrocities to try and justify their ill behavior or ill perspectives, especially those who continue to act against one another no differently than those the fingers are pointed at  for past wrongs.

Take a Closer Look at Who is Affiliated with Who

Clyde BelleCourt – Chase Iron Eyes, June – 2012
photo op for Justice for Vern Rally, photo taken at Little Earth Center in  Minneapolis

If people elect to recognize these guys as advocates for the Lakota Nation & support, condone their ill acts, that’s their choice. Below are “just” a  few notes to consider:

  • In 1999, AIM leader Russell Means during a Denver, Colorado press conference said “Vernon Bellecourt ordered Annie Mae’s execution.” (they lied to everyone for 20+ years, and continue to do so.)
  • Between 1982 and 1991, Clyde Bellecourt openly supported the collaboration of his brother, Vernon, with a settler government, to wit: the Government of Nicaragua, in the oppression, imprisonment and killing of members of the Miskito, Sumo, Rama, Garifuno and CreoIe peoples of the Atlantic Coast region of Nicaragua, known as Yapti Tasba
  • In January 1986, Clyde Bellecourt was arrested, along with a group of Indian and non-Indian associates, in possession of an estimated $125,000 worth (5.000 “hits”)of LSD and other “hard” drugs (cocaine). Charged on eight counts of being a major drug distributor, each compounded by a conspiracy charge, Bellecourt accepted a plea bargain arrangement and confessed, entering a guilty plea to lesser felonies shortly thereafter.

(Bellecourt later stated something like, “I did this for the people”)

  • Clyde Bellecourt openly supported the “Native American Free Exercise of Religion Act,” which allows the United States to use a lower standard than the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in denying American Indian religious freedom, and subjects Indian religious practices to the scrutiny and whim of the Secretary of Interior.

Chase Iron Eyes – August 22

There’s people alleging that I am June Little’s son, and accusing me of being an AIM sympathizer. I had no choice in the matters.  I’ll tell u this: the Warriors are Returning 10,000 times stronger with loaded pipes than with loaded guns.
  • Wic’aglata Win – Right on, AIM sympathizer huh??what does that mean, it was a movement started back in the 60’s that luckily trickled down to my generation,that was inclusive of all the spiritual ppl ,fools crow,matthew king,John Around him,dawson has No Horse,Kermit Bear shield etc etc etc.and from it came the 1978 ICWA AND Freedom of relegion act, without that we wouldn’t be where we are today..some ppl forget so easily,that it came from a spiritual foundation.And our children reap the benefits of that movement…we are free to practice our spirituality as we see fit, its not hidden..

Perhaps Wic’aglata Win is unaware that Fools Crow had his home burnt down not long after Crow Dog lobbied him and was refused because Fools Crow did not want AIM affiliated with the Spiritual Legacy of the Lakota. This occurred during the IWCP SunDances in the early 70’s. Fools Crow was eventually tossed to the curb and burned out after AIM could not get what they wanted from him, thou today AIM speaks as if Fools Crow continued to support their mentality and actions.

Perhaps she should consider that Matthew King (Fools Crow’s Interpreter), 5-14-73 , just after the WK2 occupation ended, reported to the FBI, “as many as “12” graves containing the bodies of several unidentified female corpses “just outside the perimeter of Wounded Knee.”

Aside from the murders of Annie Mae, Perry Ray Robinson, the beating inside of wk2 on Easter Sunday of the person strapped to a cross after he was labeled an informant and never seen again, that person Clyde named the Mannequin Man, the murder of Jeannette Bissonette, etc …..

That above is quite the foundation for building spirituality on, no? , she should consider the benefits the children to this day reap from such illness and so called warriors.

Chase Iron Eyes and his so called 10,00 warrior zealots of support carry loaded “pipes”

There is serious  doubt any of them carry the Cannunpa or that which it represents , especially the laws by which a person MUST live.

Excerpts from “Where Whit Men Fear to Tread, the Autobiography of Russell Means”

“Golden eagles don’t mate with bald eagles,

deer don’t mate with antelope,

gray wolves don’t mate with red wolves,

Just look at the domesticated animals,

at mongrel dogs,

and mixed breed horses, you’ll know

The Great Mystery didn’t intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept separate.

Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions.

It undermines clarity of spirit and mind”

Why was  the Auction was cancelled ?

Aug 25, 2012, Supposed Primary Bidder Moves On , Stanley Crooks, the chairman of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community for the last two decades, Moved on. He was admitted into the hospital not long before the Auction date.

extracted from Indianz.com published July 11,2012 ; “According to Sicangu Lakota elder Albert White Hat, Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Rodney Bordeaux and Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community Chairman Stanley R. Crooks have been discussing the matter of buying land at Pe Sla on behalf of their respective tribes in South Dakota and Minnesota.”

****

Who is Reverend Linda Kramer ?

Will She get the fund raising money ?

“According to the Rev. Linda Kramer, founding director of Borderlands Education & Spiritual Center, which is located on Pe Sla, tribes would need around $10 million to secure the parcel up for grabs next month. Kramer said the Reynolds family has partitioned the land into five plots for saleability.

If tribes are unable to raise the money by Aug. 25 to purchase the plots and thereby protect their common vested interest in Pe Sla, the area will be open to commercial development, she said.

(Note: Does the Rev. have some inside info about the county re-zoning that area for commercial use?)

“I don’t know if (any tribes) can get together on getting the money together before August,” said Kramer, who was adopted by the Sicangu Lakota, or Rosebud Sioux Tribe, in a Hunka, or Making of Relatives, ceremony.

Borderlands Education & Spiritual Center, a component of the 135-acre Borderlands Ranch, was established by Kramer in an effort to assist the Lakota in protecting and preserving Pe Sla.

However, she said the auction “will be a devastating thing” and that she can’t protect Pe Sla anymore due to a lack of funds.

****

She will not any longer be able to protect Pe Sla?

“I was following the spirit in my life and i didn’t know what the end result was going to be. I still don’t. It is a little like Noah being asked to build an ark in the desert.” -Rev. Kramer-

Can you hear Noah saying: “I can’t build the arc due to lack of funds.”

Who is in bed with who for the pay to pray indoctrination ?

Takes a lot of nerve for Rev Kramer who was adopted by a Lakota family , who cares for 135 acres in Pe`Sla, (approx. 1/2  mile south of tracts up for auction, see google map at top of post) with a pay to pray house,  to talk about the 1945 acres of the Reynolds without any pay to pray house , to say she can not protect Pa Sla anymore, when the Reynolds from what i understand thus far,  have allowed access to the lands they care for, to continue ceremony.

****

Ceremonial Pay to Pray, Pilgrimage, SunDance,  Sweat Lodge

Pilgrimage fees begin with a flat fee of $6000 for any number of pilgrims up to 10 persons, for any number of days up to 8 days including arrival and departure days.  Catered meals – $45 per person per day

Everyone is welcome to participate in worship and spiritual ceremonies at Borderlands. Grounded in the Anglican tradition, the worship at Borderlands honors and is inspired by all of creation reflecting particularly several dimensions of the Lakota and Celtic spiritual traditions.

The spiritual dimensions of earth, fire, water and wind are explored and experienced by pilgrims. To enrich the spiritual experience of pilgrims, an outdoor eleven-circuit labyrinth has been constructed of local slate and quartz. A medicine wheel, arbor and sweat lodge are also on the property.

Is this a BrainWashing program ???

Electronics/Technology/Telephone:

  • As building community by focusing on our relationship with God and with one another is a priority of a pilgrimage,

there is no television or other technology (other than an occasional videotape) used during a pilgrimage and you are asked_not_to_bring your own (including cell phones andtape and cd walkmans). There is one telephone line at the ranch and pilgrims are asked to use the telephone for emergencies only. http://www.borderlandsranch.org/pilgrimage.htm

Aug23, 2012: Will the fund raising money from the global community be set aside for other_lands instead of the tracts up for auction. Will those monies be used to assist Borderlands Ranch with purchasing the 120 acres of land that  Borderlands is fund raising for?

Making way for AIM to immerse itself within their “spiritual community” that gives back to the ranch financially , i.e Friends of Borderlands could very well become AIM’s Friends of Borderland ???

The monies collected have to be applied to lands within Pe Sla

Will Chase and AIM Affiliates get in on the Borderlands pay to pray, educational, indoctrination program? and incorporate AIM into the “spiritual community” the Borderlands Ranch is building, that is secured by “Friends of Borderlands”?

Borderlands Ranch is running a fund raising campaign to purchase 120 acres of land within Pe Sla. This is land that would fit Chase and affiliates contingency plan, i.e to buy other_land that_might become available within Pe Sla.

Borderlands ranch is 1/2 mile south of the Reynolds property.

Borderlands Ranch is building a “spiritual community”, i.e people that give financially, back to  “Friends of Borderlands” when ever possible or on an annual basis after they return to their day to day life.  You can view some of the organizational Friends of Borderlands  at their web site “links page” , this does not include “individual pilgrams” that have gone through their indoctrination program, that give back.

“At each year end we at Borderlands have depended upon the financial gifts of our friends across the country and in this year when the economic downturn (only three groups in 2011) hit Borderlands, we are more dependent upon your gifts to get us through in the black. For our old friends, we thank you for your support in the past and for considering your continuing support of this ministry. For our new friends, we hope that our mission is a compelling one for you to support with your gifts no matter how large or how small.”

Borderlands teachings are based on Lakota, Celtic, Anglican teachings, their “Spiritual Program”, at the “Spiritual Education School” is conducted by Episcopalian priest Reverend Linda Kramer,  who was adopted by a lakota family. If not in error members of the Lakota family also conduct  in their “spiritual experience program” with Ceremony, SunDances, Sweats, Star Teachings ect.

There should not be anyone making a dollar off of these lands. There should not be any more development on these lands. Pe Sla has been taking care of itself long before any roads, and should be left alone to continue doing so. As for the EIS and upgrading South Rochford Road, tell people ,

Chase and  Affiliates are tools for Dennis Banks and AIM affiliates , does not take much to figure that one out

i am unable to support the fund raising petition or the funds that have been received, because of the misleading, comments of deception, used in the call to global community for support. Secondary, my confidence level held toward those spearheading the effort was zero from the get go based on their self serving mentality, and now that level has dipped well below zero.

“They”, have desecrated all and everyone involved, while holding “their” stance, it is alright to use underhanded measures.

It is saddening that so many people support, “again”,  such a way to thinking and being.

UPDATE – AUG 27,  2012

Rosebud disassociates itself from LRI’s Petition

Rosebud Tribes  website for LRI’s  fund raising petition, put on hold. Why did the Tribe discontinue promoting lastrealindians on the Tribal Website?  Does Economic Development  agree the request to the global community is deceptive and that the intent for the fund raising should not be changing? As to say “they should_not be changing gears”. It seems the Tribe has  concerns  about the means at which the call to the global community was presented and has elected not to “publicly” promote LRI .

UPDATE – AUG 28,  2012

Reason the Auction was canceled ?

Aug 25, 2012 , one of the supposed key bidders Stanley Crooks, Chairman of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) in Minnesota moved on.  Mr. Crooks was admitted to the hospital not long before the auction date.  The Mdewakaton in 2010 and 2011 gave 100 million plus through donations and funding.  At least, since early July, Mr. Crooks had dialog with the tribes in the Dakota’s to create an Auction Bid. His health and hospital status could very well have been the reason the Reynolds cancelled the auction 2 days prior to bidding.

2 days after Auction Day:

The Lakota councils over the last couple of days did a mad rush to the table to get an offer out to the Reynolds, the Reynolds made a counter offer, it sounds as if the Reynolds are doing their best to ensure the Lakota Councils gain title to the acreage up for sale in Pe Sla. Hoping the financial groups can find common ground. 🙂

Published Aug 28, by IndianCountryToday:
The sacred site of Pe’ Sla, which is on part of the land that was recently pulled off the auction block for unknown reasons could be sold to tribes in South Dakota according to tribal member and District 5 Council Representative for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in Eagle Butte, South Dakota Robin LeBeau Tatanka Agliwin (Woman Who Brings back the Buffalo).

LeBeau said the tribes had until noon on Monday, August 27 to make an offer to the owners of the lands known as Reynolds Prairie. In a collective effort of several tribes, an offer was made. “So we made our offer hoping, yet not knowing if someone else was higher or lower than us.”

After the offer was made, the owners responded.

“What we were told today is that they came back with a counter offer to all the tribes,” said LeBeau. “This is not the work of one tribe, it is the work of many, many tribes and now we are praying.

Is this to say the monies will not go directly into an account for purchase of lands ? So much for transparency …. Wondering who will get the perks off of this Money Grab!

UpDate Aug. 29th

How would you like your Eggs Looking at you or Over Easy ?

Flipped from  intent #3 , funds for offsetting costs , to intent #4  , back to the Pe Sla land acquisition.

Aug 29, 8am cst: Sara Jumping Eagle posted an announcement 2 hours ago , Clarification: All money raised by this campaign will go directly towards the purchase of Pe’Sla sacred site in collaboration with the Great Sioux Nation This will ensure that Lakota tribes and families continue to use the funds they normally have at hand for every day tribal operations and living.

….

Ken Haukaas , Economic Development Adviser for Rosebud,  seems to agree the request to the global community could be conducted differently, as he mentioned “they should_not be changing gears” , and agreed with concerns  about the Means at which the call to the global community was presented.

Hopefully the “Singau Lakota Oyate” will recognize what is being generated here, if this continues to unfold on it’s current path, it will become a “deeper” mark of distrust

This much is for certain, if LRI actually had a strong , sound working relationship for the fund raising petition with the “tribes”, as in plural, as Chase and AIM affiliates state they represent,  the tribes who are suppose to be involved, should have someone from a tribal department included with the fund raising team with contact information on  the petition site.

It is evident Ken is being left in the dark as to the decisions and statements being made to the global community by LRI and AIM affiliates while saying they represent the Lakota Nation.

Nothing like having your eggs Over Easy, eh?

Wonder if Chase will delete or answer

Joe Wade: The petition site says $47 dollars avg. per donation, at 320,000, this equates to approx 6800 people from the globe who have donated.

The petition says the monies donated will go to the “tribes” for purchase of Pe Sla. “IF”, an offer consisting of several tribes is successful, and “IF” there are 8 tribes involved, 320,000 divided among them would equate to $40,000 to each of the 8 tribes.

It would be great if in that bid group, other Nations that have a historical connection to Pe Sla are included, such as the Crow, Cheyenne, etc …

LRI should keep their intent of the petition money collected , to go to all tribes that are involved with the purchase of Pe Sla.

Does LRI intend on trying to submit all the money to “one” tribe?

please answer without deleting and banning because of a valid question.

There were 3 nurses working with Thunder Hawk in the infirmary when Robinson was brought in before he was allowed by AIM leadership to bleed to death…where are these women, are they 3 or the 12 buried along the parameter of Wounded Knee township”

They were white nurses…who saw what actually happened to Ray Robinson….what happened to them, ask Madonna Thunder Hawk, I am sure she will tell you….those with inquiring minds!

“Amongst those who attended the clinic at Wounded Knee 1973 when Perry Ray Robinson was brought into the clinic and Madonna Gilbert saw him pushed into a closet to bleed to death were Dr. Mike Silverstein, Dr. Anne Hirschman, Mary Ann Maul, Owen Craig Luck who came in with Mark Lane on April 13th, 1973. Two other clinic personal who came and went as well during this period are Dr. Fred Gianola and Fred Basford who leave on the same day (April 27th) that Buddy LaMont’s body is removed from the Knee which is a day or two after Ray Robinson is seen lying outside the house that Dennis Banks occupied. Finally 3 other medics leave on May 4, 1973: Tom Arons, Geraldine Olivia and Patricia Kennu. These names from the WKLDOC transcriptions of FBI/Marshal intercepts, and names my be spelled phonetically.”

“May 13, 1973: Matthew King, an Oglala elder and interpreter for Chief Frank Fools Crow, who spent time inside Wounded Knee and as a negotiator reports to the FBI that there is as many as “12” graves containing the bodies of several unidentified female corpses “just outside the perimeter of Wounded Knee.” (FBI Airtel 5/14/73 – FOI)”

 James Abourezk   was with the trio of AIM leadership  at the Center for Western Studies Conference this past April.  If the global community and some of the tribal members want to buy into the B.S that Chase Iron Eyes and AIM Affiliates are dishing out, they had better get ready, the chit is going to get a lot deeper.

Before it is done and over with, will “those”  who hijacked the Lakota Spiritual Legacy get congress to Regulate 1st Nations Ceremony and Practices ? It’s not as if “they” haven’t  already tried.

Rosebud progress report press release , Aug 31,2012

Rosebud wants Pe Sla “titled” to the Lakota alone?, To Rosebud alone? , This is not quite clear  and may not be Good

“The Rosebud Sioux Tribe announced progress today in the effort to purchase and preserve Pe Sla, …. “We have secured funding for the ernest money deposit of Pe Sla and “intend  to lead” the Seven Council Fires into reclaiming …

The Rosebud Sious Tribal Council expressed its wish to work with other tribal councils on the management of the site, “if the sale is finalized in Rosebud’s favor”

“Leading up to the purchase of the sacred site was an action by the Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association to act as a spokesperson for the unofficial coalition of tribes. However, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe has committed an undisclosed amount of earnest money in the purchase of Pe Sla.

****

Indian Country Today states – GPTCA has stepped in as Legal Representation

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe has committed an undisclosed amount of earnest money in the purchase of Pe’ Sla. While in demonstration of a major collective effort of tribes, the Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association (GPTCA) has stepped in to act as a collective voice for coalition of tribes that have formed in support of re-obtaining Pe’ Sla.

According to GPTCA Executive Director A. Gay Kingman, the coming together of tribes has been a positive step for the unification of Native tribes. “The tribes are making a unified effort on behalf of the tribes and the people. We are close. In this day and age we are proud. I am proud of such a united effort of all the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people,” she said.

****

The Rosebud press release Aug 31,  does_not say anything about a working relationship with lastrealindians, and the tribes web site that was up for a little while referencing lastrealindians  has been taken down,  on hold since at least Aug. 27th.

People should contact the economic director at Rosebud to find out just what the working relationship with lastrealindians is, in place of going by what Chase Iron Eyes says, does not anyone find it peculiar?

****

If the sale is finalized in Rosebud’s favor ?

Management should be fairly easy, shut down the roads,  and let Pe Sla alone to take care of “itself”.

 

What exactly is the intent for Pe Sla ? , Hoping the riding gear is removed and put away.

Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association

The Legal Representation for Pe Sla land acquisition

The unofficial coalition of tribes includes the Lakotah, Dakotah, Nakotah, Mandan, Hidatsa, and Sahnish  thou it does_not include the Cheyenne, Crow, Arapaho, Blackfoot, Pawnee,  etc.., i.e others  who have historical ceremonial connections to Pe Sla. These Nations once stood together on these lands, and they should come together again unified on  common grounds.

Will the Unity get Stronger ?

It is very difficult to hold a high confidence level that abuse will not occur with these lands changing guardianship because of the likes of lastrealindians and  those they are supported by and affiliated with, which includes murders, rapist, liars and cultural,spiritual, tradition Pimps.

That is fact, not an opinion. It would be great to see the GPTCA develop some form of a trust, foundation where all of the GPTCA’s  Tribal  voices have decision making input for the care and guardianship of the acquired lands and its use,  and to incorporate if possible, other Nations such as the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, etc.

As long as the likes of those , who hold such strong stigma attached to their identity are in the mix, a high confidence level of people’s trust will never exist. Why should it?

There is no intent in these writing to show disregard to the Nations or their leadership involved, i.e unless that leadership aligns itself with murdering, thieving, raping, liars, especially those who pimp out culture, spirituality and tradition for self serving agenda’s.

Just a thought. The GPTCA consist of 16 Tribes, an additional 8  Tribes at the table for Pe Sla decision making, such as the Kiowa, Cheyene, Crow, Blackfeet, Pawnee, etc … would make for 24 Tribes. This would create a very strong Voice for all  lands of the Black Hills. An advisory Voice , a Voice for concerns.

Uncle Sam is Boss!

According to LastRealindians Press Release , Aug. 31, 2012

“The Black Hills still belong to the Great Sioux Nation pursuant to its treaty with the United States -the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie.” -LRI-

The AIMster mentality acknowledges the treaty when it benefits their personal agenda’s and  goes against it when “their personal agenda’s are not met. That same mentality will also utilize the Boss’s orders to place them-self above all other, family, and Nations as in “It’s All Mine”

Form the LRI Petition Updates Sept 1st

“The Black Hills still belong to the Great Sioux Nation pursuant to its treaty with the United States -the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie.”  (….)

“The Oceti Sakowin could not have accomplished this historic feat without everyone around the world supporting their efforts.” -Jockeying for Credit again 🙂 –

– UpDate Sep 04, 2012 –

Rumor has it 9 tribes are involved in a purchase,  that earnest money has secured. Today petition funds are at $320,220 , which equates to approx $35,000  each of the 9 will not have to shuck out.

Now the world can watch the self declared so called Sioux leaders, the LRI’s and the Lakota Peoples Law Project, wave their flags, toot their horns, sing their song about saving Pe Sla , when in reality the petition fund raising based on deception and many peculiarities , constitutes for 1/3 of 1 million for the 6-10 million needed.

Aside from aligning themselves  with deceiving, murdering, rapist, liars, it is what it is , AIM.  But that is O.K, because “It’s for the Good of the Cause”.

Tribe secures money in effort to buy Pe’ Sla

Posted: Sep 04, 2012 2:51 PM CDT 

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – The Rosebud Sioux Tribe of South Dakota says it has secured funding for the earnest deposit to buy land in South Dakota’s Black Hills that tribes consider sacred.

Tribes of the Great Sioux Nation consider the nearly 2,000 acres of privately owned land key to their creation story, and members feared new owners would develop the land they call Pe’ Sla. The tribes have been raising money to try to buy the land.

Rosebud Sioux Tribe spokesman Alfred Walking Bull says the tribe is still working out details and more information should be available as early as next week.

The current land owners would not comment.

****

In the end, would  the Lakota agreeing to  “legal title” through purchase, set   the precedence that the land assigned to the Lakota by the Treaty is void?

If so, the Cheyene had better stay clear of this whole saga.

Understanding these concepts of “purchase” , “ownership” and “legal title” for these lands still evade me for some reason, must be another defect I have, but that’s o.k , at least my heart is still intact and still won’t compromise my being 🙂

Ostrich_ized Island

August 22, 2012

Devouring of children’s souls before they are 6, was recently mentioned, listen to that Voice and Consider.  Since the days of the wk2, more guys accept the act of, taking advantage of children and justify the abuse because of corrupted teachings, creating a path for illness to continue and multiply. With dispersion of such thinking into original beliefs, over time,  original thinkers become outnumbered and ostracized. They are cast out for not following and partaking in that which degrades their being. Beyond being ostracized, original thinkers are eventually killed off, securing a new norm of behavior.

The after years of AIM as role models at Pine Ridge, the youth were taught to support and follow the ill mentality that is rooted deep within the character of AIM’s teachings, well disguised. The youth blundered their own family members who opposed accepting the teachings of AIM as tradition. The beatings that boys took, the rapes that women had to endure as a result were considered deserving because those youth would not fall in line on a path of self-destruction.

****

“Native women are murdered at 10 times the national rate; 1 out 3 Native women will be raped in her lifetime, and 3 out of 5 physically assaulted.

****

Rolling up to modern time, what child would want to continue living within a world of abuse and rejection, because they are unable to conform to such illness. Today many people do not see or accept how the shAIMster influence into spirituality and tradition is partially the cause for the increase in suicides across the board.

People continue to point the finger at all other to try and evade responsibility of what is occurring with crime, substance abuse and sexual abuse within. What those pointers fail to accept is that the original Spiritual foundation is still present, strong and very much alive and the only way for “it” to strengthen is to acknowledge the negative influence without “excusing” the ill behavior generated from corrupted teachings.

In yrs past people that went underground to preserve original beliefs, were often given up by family or others within, so that the informants could gain rewards and positions of control, setting a norm for others to follow. People can blame “it” on foreign governments, foreign beliefs or whatever they want, it does not “excuse” the choices and acts made by self serving people, whether it was in the days of Crow Dog murdering Spotted Eagle or the days of the Great Sun murdering those within or any other time before, such as that in the days before  Quigualtam.

****

What the youth are doing to one another today , in current time, is based on what they have been taught in current time and we can thank the hype of AIM, it’s leadership and many of it’s supporting membership for that. Wondering if the next generation will stick their head in the sand to this reality while looking for grass roots in a desert of deception.

The Colonial Mailbox

August 14, 2012

Walking down the road one notes a mailbox pole tilted, in place of passing by, one might place a stone or two at the base and pack them with soil, as in setting a new foundation with them, to correct  alignment.

Why?, given enough time, the mailbox will topple over, that’s just the way gravity works,  and the mailbox will no longer be useful for it’s intended purpose, thou it might make a good home for a ground dweller.

An individual does such without expectations other than to prevent failure and help out. To sit collectively to initiate such an action is not necessary; the action is prompted by an individuals natural traits.

For some reason people today believe it is mandatory to assemble at scheduled times, in order to maintain alignment with “being” human. People who elect not to attend assemblies are often ostracized, pushed aside, set as an example of what not to be. Why is that? It’s a control mechanism, for leaders to keep followers in line and “upright” as per leadership desires and needs.

One can not rid the colonial mindset or continue to point the finger at colonial influence until aspects of “colonial beliefs” are discarded. Colonialism is not the workings of this explorer or that explorer; it is the result of governing bodies (leadership), belief systems and followers.

….

Who has the courage to stand alone,

if need be, to re-align mailbox’s ?

In “the”  most basic form

In general people use to relate to “their environment” (individual aspects of creation or creation as a whole). Communications  consisted of , giving thanks, requesting guidance, asking for help, expressing sorrows etc. Communication was not directed towards “the creator”.

People today, talk “to the creator

Instead of communicating,  “with creation

Why Annie Mae?

August 11, 2012

For years the AIM leadership and Leonard Peltier and their supporters have whined “why is it only Annie Mae appeared to be receiving attention from the authorities.”  An interesting question considering that those claiming foul had direct knowledge and information about her murder yet swore to an oath of silence to protect the brotherhood for 36 years.  What the public does not clearly understand or know is HOW that “attention” was received. Trust me there were no favors. After sitting dormant for over 20 years with several grand juries that produced no indictments several individuals with a conscience decided they could no longer live with the lies and deceit and stepped up and spoke the truth. It is as simple as that.

 

In 1976 authorities interviewed over 200 individuals, all who knew Annie Mae and NOT ONE of them would agree to testify or speak about what happened to Annie Mae. It doesn’t take much to imagine how impossible it is to hold a trial without eyewitness testimony. If the marginalization and racism reports were accurate, it should also be no surprise that the authorities back then didn’t steamroll Annie Maes’ murder investigation to the fore front however that does not excuse or carry the weight of responsibility in the delays considering that there were over 23 witnesses who watched my mothers’ 72 hour death march unfold before their eyes and remained silent for decades. I am grateful that some managed to gain the courage to finally speak the truth.

 

When we first started campaigning for my mother’s justice I was very critical of the authorities for not doing more. I instinctively initially bought into the popular native resistance mantra that all government was corrupt and evil. Trust me with whom my mother was as a human being and the life she lived there was no one more critical of the government than I. I was determined if this was a case of neglect on their part I would prove it. Unfortunately very quickly I was met with controversy of the worst kind from those my mother at one time had referred to as friends and family. After 16 years, I now had to accept that after confirming the truth, from those closest to her spiritually and physically, John Trudell, Dino Butler, NIlak Butler, Robert Robideau and ultimately Arlo Looking Cloud and learning of the level of conspiracy and deceit exercised by the AIM leadership and Peltier with their diversionary tactics, how could the authorities do anything more without witnesses? From my point of view the Aim leadership and Peltier had now become extensions to the original offending government. How awkward to learn that the silence and lack of movement in my mother’s case had little to do with government conspiracy and more to do with blood being thicker than water. Annie Mae was Mikmaq from another country, with no family ties to the Lakota territory and for all intents and purposes was an outsider.

 

My mothers’ Justice was not about pitting one native against each other, it was about truth and justice unconditionally as it should be when you are dealing with truth and justice. Those who conspired to hide the truth that it was in fact AIM members who took her life made it an NDN vs NDN issue. My mother’s murder was treated like a dirty little secret in NDN country while the cowards who took her life sang her accolades from their podiums and justice pages in their attempts to divert any focus on their responsibility in enabling and facilitating the murder of one of their own women by their own AIM members. It is no wonder NDN country was so confused.

 

During the discovery process that took 10 years, we were not at liberty to discuss the testimony and information we learned during this time for obvious reasons. However that did not stop the AIM leadership and Peltier from posturing themselves as victims and warriors of yesteryear and focusing on ridiculous facets of my mother’s murder to raise question and controversy amongst the masses. From questioning her hands being cut off (she did not die from having her hands cut off!) to when she was last seen (another Aimtastical invention to distract from the fact that 23 people witnessed her being kidnapped, and marched off to her death) to rumors of pie patrol retaliation (because clearly everyone knows you receive a death penalty for infidelity in NDN country. I would be doing a head count on all of Banks mistresses to confirm that)  to questioning rape charges (which was revealed during testimony but was never an issue since the statutes of limitations had expired, but Grahams supporters felt that proving that he didn’t rape her must mean he didn’t kill her…..okayyy)

 

We also are now aware of threats of retaliation some women received if they spoke my mother’s name 25 years ago, which made some prisoners in their own communities. I have received at least a dozen emails over the last 5 years from women who said their babies lives were used as a very effective gag for decades for a few of the eye witnesses. These women had just witnessed the killing of one of their own group members by men that they now had to live with in a remote community during a time where there was no trust in the authorities. I can’t say I would have made the same choices nor can I say that I blame them for the choices they made.  It demonstrates the lawless corrupt climate that existed during these very tumultuous times.

 

If any of us are to believe and hope in a future of survival for any of our nations it is imperative we exemplify unconditional truth to our youth and teach them that killing one of your own women is not something that is just swept under the rug and ignored because there were bigger fish to fry. Regardless of how long ago it occurred, justice is justice, especially when those who are the facilitators still posture themselves as champions of justice and resistance in our communities today. That is just plain hypocritical. Which is exactly the lesson the AIM leadership and Peltier gave to our youth each and every day till the truth was revealed.

 

My mother received justice because individuals like Paul DeMain and Bob Branscombe took it upon themselves to investigate and ask questions; because several individuals knew if there was ever going to be a shift in ndn country in how justice was served and validated now was as good a time as any to step up to the plate; because her family would not accept what happened to Annie Mae as a matter of consequence. We can’t say what other people would do for their own family member that is their decision, but we would help them in any way we could if they asked. Dennis Banks, Russell Means, Clyde Bellecourt or Leonard Peltier never did anything to campaign for my mother’s justice, unless you consider Clyde’s reckless dare to Paul DeMain to investigate the murder of Annie Mae in 1994.

 

At the end of the day the AIM leadership and Peltier have lied to NDN country for 36 years that it was the feds who murdered Annie Mae, when in fact it was AIM members who kidnapped, interrogated and murdered Annie Mae. After three trials, two guilty pleas and the eyewitness testimony of over 23 witnesses proving that fact, AIM leadership and Peltier now support her murderers saying that the government made them murder Annie Mae?? Spending the last 16 years campaigning for my mother’s justice in a storm of BS lies and deception, has confirmed one very valuable lesson for me. The truth always prevails.

I have stood on the side lines for many years weighing out my options and gagging my words by the amount of verbal abuse and personal attacks I was willing to take behind the scenes each time I spoke publicly. I have been called traitor, fed, pig, vengeful, hateful, diversionary, grief-stricken and a liar for speaking the truth and demanding FULL justice for my mother. I am putting my mothers murderers, the AIM leadership, Leonard Peltier and their sympathizers on notice. IT STOPS HERE. I will NOT UNITE with murderers who have the blood of one of their own women on their hands, until those who conspired to hide the truth for 36 years are exposed and dealt with.

Using Culture and Elders “Again”

The  shAIMster Script and Mentality Continues

Cast: Russell Means, Floyde Red Crow Westerman, Leonard Crow Dog, Arvol Looking Horse, Fred Alan Wolf, Martin Sheen (Narrator)

Reviewed a trailer for this film, and noted it presents distant historical profiles of government and belief systems atrocities, which is well acknowledged and recognized as wrongs in that distant past from the oppressing entities. Douglas White’s family members testimony led to his conviction. If their testimony was actually false at the time, why portray in this film the cause of their behavior is from the distant past, when the family members mentality, character and world views were shaped by teachings given to them in present time, by the likes of  people in this film ?

If their testimony was actually false, they should all be charged with perjury and held accountable for their actions that placed Mr. White into jail where he died, in place of trying to evade the responsibility by saying “The  Devil (government) made me do it”. They have been taught well.

When one digs into the layers of recent changes in Lakota Spirituality and Ceremony, it is obvious  current bastardized teachings by AIM over the last 35 years have failed miserably for too many people. The failure of positive social growth based on current spirituality is the result of people like CrowDog, Arvol Looking Horse, Russell Means and other affiliates who are portrayed in this movie as advocates for 1st nations people, when in reality their agenda’s have been and continue to be predominately self serving. What a sad attempt to pass off accountability and responsibility of  current social, spiritual degradation by pointing the finger at the government and other belief systems “again”.

Perhaps someday people will start looking under the deceptions and realize there are many voices that understand these attempts to continue promoting the illness that those in this film perpetrate. Those many voices will continue to put out the self serving bastardized fires. These actions do not make money for producers or anyone else, thou it does ensure the survival of  ancestors voices. no? Quit pointing the finger at the distant past, and recognize what is occurring now and start looking at who’s current teachings are accepted and being followed.

It is absolutely mind boggling how people with such good intent, such as writers, producers, narrator’s can fall prey to the sickness that is killing us from within. A sickness they are blinded by and unaware of that uses them to grow in strength and move about.

 An interesting inbox reply to postings on the Holy Man fb page

Eliase Graywolf: u must be an apple hu lmao …well to all u apples that support the bia …and their stoog actions …were going to find all of u make sure justice is done our ways. a.i.m. restance now and forever long live uncle russlle and all those that oppose the goons and trible corruption

Joe Wade: your comment “were going to find all of u make sure justice is done our way” are mirrored words of Dick Wilson back in the 70’s, you have been taught well you little tool, LOL!

Eliase Graywolf: what u apple lover ….s.a.i.m. is going to wipe all u off the face of the planet …. and start over…one nation one voice …

all tribes united for the good of everyone … the secound american idian movment is strong were going to start making changes with our spiritaul ways of life …. 7th generation now is our time.

….

Real “holy”, spiritual movement being reflected by the youth that is generated by the teachings from those who are suppose to be voices and role models for 1st nations people. The developed mindset of the  youth displayed in the above perpetrates self genocide.

There is nothing spiritual about that mind set, thou it might be “holy” , and it is what the writers, producers are being used for by the AIM mentality , to generate higher levels of “Hate”

Those kids and others that follow and allow that illness to get under their skin, haven’t a chance with any form of healing, or moving forward in an upwardly mobile fashion. It only creates more oppression and destruction for all concerned.

In short that kids voice, is the mindset that will support acts of rape, physical abuse, etc to their own when people refuse to follow the bastardized teachings of AIM, and they will continue to try and evade responsibility of their ill actions by pointing the finger at all other for their behavior.

It is also the mindset of hatred that will lie and deceive in order to put a grandfather in jail.

Robert Redford needs to make room for Martin Sheene on the couch of one sided documentaries, that serve no purpose other than to promote the illness of bastardized teachings from so called NDN hero’s and role models…. please quit clearing a path for that sickness that grows stronger with each valorized media release.
