June 26th: Raise Awareness of Peltier's Case
 Due
to the political nature of the Peltier case, a high level of
public awareness is critical if new legal efforts are to succeed.
Here's some of the things you can do to educate your community
about the Peltier case:
- Set up literature tables at events/public places. Download
publications at
http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/pubs.htm.
- Organize teach-ins.
- Plan showings of electronic media. "Incident at Oglala" is
available for purchase from Amazon.com, eBay, etc., and VHS and
DVD copies are available to rent in many rental outlets. We also
strongly recommend "Warrior," on VHS. Order online through
Native Videos
(www.nativevideos.com/warrior.htm).
- Write letters to editors of local newspapers. Click

opinions and educate others.

Leonard Peltier.
