DESCRIPTION:This meeting will be a planning meeting for Rocky Boice Jr.'s upcoming 
 court date (December 17, 2002). All people are encouraged to attend and get 
 involved in this important case. For more info, check out the website at 
 www.freecarson10.com. The following is a recent interview of the 
 defendant.\n\nFree Rocky Boice Jr. Now!!                            \nan 
 interview with Rock and Terry Boice (Rocky's Parents)                 
 \n\nWho is Rocky Boice? Rocky is a young Native Father from Hopi and Paiute 
 tribes. Rocky comes from a strong family and is engaged to be married to a 
 young Hopi woman named Kim Susunkewa and they have a wonderful two year old 
 daughter named Tezia. Rocky is a very valuable member in the Native 
 community in Carson City. Rocky graduated from Sherman Indian High in 
 Riverside, Ca. Rocky grew up racing BMX and became very succesful at it 
 from the ages of 5 to 16. He was state champion 9 times and nationally 
 ranked, and he won over 300 trophies. He took these skills and applied them 
 to car racing where he won 11 out of 15 main events. He would have been 
 track champion and state champion in the hobby stock division had it not 
 been for his unjust incarceration. Rocky is a talented basketball player 
 who took part in many Indian tournaments.  He also enjoys hunting and 
 fishing, he often served the people by bringing fish and meats to the 
 elders. He is a very active particapent in Pow Wow's where he sings and 
 drums for the people. He is also very active in native ceromonies, such as 
 Sweat Lodge, and other Native Ceremonies.   Like in the cases of Leonard 
 Pelteir and Mumia Abu Jamal, Rocky is innocent and yet he has been found 
 guilty by an all white jury for a crime that everybody knows that he did 
 not do. He is presently incarcerated and facing 27 years before parole 
 elligibilty. \n\nWhy is Rocky innocent?  There is no evidence. There are no 
 credible eye witnesses. There is no murder weapon. Rocky could not live 
 with himself if he seriously harmed another person. When he first learned 
 that someone had been seriously harmed, he was shocked because his 
 involvement left no one harmed. The states key witnesses prove Rocky's 
 innocence, for exaple Julien Contreres states that when Rocky is the first 
 in and the first out of the hotel room and when he left, there is no bllod 
 in the room.  \n\nWhy does the Carson city rulers have it out for Rocky? 
 Our family has exposed the Carson City Gov. for being racist and 
 irresponsible in their duty to protect the Native community against violent 
 attacks.\n\nCould you please give us some examples. The Sheriffs would 
 never pursue with investigations or any action when crimes were committed 
 against Rocky. Even 911 calls were not responded to. The sheriff himself 
 Rod Bannister said publicly I could care less wether The Indian and Mexican 
 communities feel they are being descriminated against. Ernie Adler who ran 
 for state senator said Native people do not vote and therefor there is no 
 reason to meet with them.\n\nCould you give us some history to the problems 
 between the Indigenous and the Latino communities. First of all, the Indian 
 people here have always been looked down upon by the whites and when the 
 Chicanos came to Carson in the late 80's they too were looked down upon by 
 the same whites. When the Chicanos came there was Native and Latino unity. 
 The racist jocks and racists in general made a carreer of attacking the 
 Native and Latinio communities. At first the Indians and the Latinos would 
 stand together against these racist attacks. \n\nHow is Rocky being treated 
 in custody? He is held in lockdown because he is not classified as a 
 prisoner as of yet. Since Sept. 19 he has been in the hole. We as his 
 family have yet been approved for regular visits although the normal time 
 frame is 3 weeks. \n\nWhat is your overall feelings and thoughts about what 
 is happening? The system is trying to break the spirit of the people and 
 silence our voices. We were all taught in their schools that we have 
 rights, than when we try to exert our rights, we find out that we never had 
 rights under this system. If you question or expose them, they come against 
 you and take away the most precious part of our lives, in our case-our son. 
 Rocky Boice Jr. was rairoaded and framed unjustly to further attempt to 
 break the people. Up until the late 6o's, in a town clso be named 
 Gardnerville, the "good" old cowboys had and blew a loud whistle at 6pm 
 daily to tell all the Indians to leave town until morning. \n\nCould you 
 please talk about the Boarding Schools? The Mission School system was 
 designed in Carson City and all over to violently force the Indian people 
 to accept the white way. In 1868, a white preacher who studdied the "Indian 
 problem" advised the Gov. to use the boarding school system because he knew 
 that the children had to brainwashed from birth. The BIA would use cattle 
 trucks to round up the indian children and force them to the boarding 
 schools--the schools fundamental job was to committ cultural genocide--to 
 remove the people fom our culture, language, traditions, ceremonies, 
 customs and ways of life.\n\nThrough all these examples, they are still 
 practicing lynch mentality. In the past they used the rope and today they 
 use the courts. \n\nThe people must open their eyes, to stand up and demand 
 no more crimes against the people. \n\n"The Spirit of the Native People 
 will never Die!"         Terry Boice\n\n"If anybody hurts our loved ones, 
 family, and people, we should see that they can never do it again!"         
                                Rock Boice Sr.\n\nHow can the people help?
