Our startup was hectic and the demands of the job grow daily, but
we want to take a moment to thank all of you for your assistance
and support, as well as your energy and commitment.

Having to move as quickly as we did, we didn't have the luxury
of time to consider such things as a logo for the LPDOC.
It's occurred to us that this is an area where supporters
may be able to help and also have a little fun. So, we
encourage everyone to participate in our logo contest.  Visit
http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/logocontest.htm for more
information.

June 26 is the 33rd anniversary of the firefight at the Jumping Bull
property on the Pine Ridge Reservation.  The LP DOC will represent
Leonard at the annual Little Big Horn National Monument event in
Montana, as well as the Oglala Commemoration in South Dakota. We're
also helping participants in the Longest Walk II mark the day by
sending t-shirts and other materials their way.

How will you mark the day?

Due to the political nature of the Peltier case, a high level
of public awareness is critical if we're to succeed in obtaining
Leonard's release.

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
literature at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/pubs.htm and don't
forget our petitions and sample resolution which you can locate on
our main menu.

-- Plan showings of electronic media. While "Incident at Oglala" is
out of print, copies still in circulation are often available for
purchase from Amazon.com, eBay, etc., and VHS and DVD copies are
available to rent in many rental outlets. Amazon.com also offers
a downloadable, low-cost digital version. Restrictions apply. We
also strongly recommend "Warrior," on VHS. Order online through
Native Videos at http://www.nativevideos.com/warrior.htm.

-- Write letters to editors of local newspapers, encourage community
television stations to highlight the case, and place calls to radio
call-in shows. Express your opinions and educate others.

-- Hold book readings featuring "My Life Is My Sun Dance" by Leonard
Peltier.

If you're planning an event, please let us know.  We'll be happy
to add the information you provide to our calendar of events and
otherwise promote your event in any way we can.

Stay tuned for more news about June 26th events.

Thank you for all you do on Leonard's behalf.

Sincerely,


Betty Ann Peltier-Solano
Coordinator




Time to set him free... Because it is the RIGHT thing to do.
