About the Leonard Peltier Holiday Gift Drive

The Lakota People have four values to live by: bravery, wisdom, generosity, and fortitude. Generosity (Wacantognaka) is essential to a Lakota. It is better to give a lot than to have a lot. The best way to honor people is through giveaways (otuhan) where the givers share much of what they have with others, sometimes giving away everything in their possession. Leonard Peltier offers all his supporters an opportunity to give something back and honor the Lakota people. He respectfully requests your help making these holidays a little brighter and this winter a little warmer for the children at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Note: The Leonard Peltier Support Group of New Mexico (LPSG) and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee will be delivering the gifts to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation by December 24, 2007.

That Toys-R-Us link which showed suggested types of toys (such as Pictionary board games, sets of blocks, crayons etc) is down. It should probably be accessible again soon.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
