"Warrior"
by Suzie Baer

Cinnamon Productions, Inc.

"Warrior" is the shocking true story of Leonard Peltier, the American Indian leader locked away for life in a federal prison, convicted of the alleged murder of two FBI agents during a bloody shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975.

"Warrior" takes us back to the violent confrontations at Wounded Knee and Pine Ridge in the seventies, and then to today's Indian reservations where the government's plans for uranium mining and waste dumping are still being heatedly resisted by Indian activists. The heart of the film, though, is a detailed, painstaking account of Peltier's harrowing odyssey through the American justice system.

U.S. Social Forum (June/July 2007). Indigenous Voices: From the Heart of Mother Earth. Indigenous identity has developed through the history, culture, spiritual relationships, treaties and inherent rights of the Indigenous Peoples to their land. From Alaska, to Hawaii, to other areas of Turtle Island including the southeastern region, the impacts of colonization and neo-colonialism in the United States are deep and often devastating. The impacts are manifested in today's organizing work in and outside of Indigenous Nations, communities, organizations and individuals. The road of the destruction related to U.S. dependence on a fossil fuel regime and its link to climate justice and human rights is critical in this organizing work. We will share models of organizing strategies and how they facilitate movement building and collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizing. (Provided by Free Speech TV.

The Mato Paha. Bear Butte Spiritual Forum: Religious Freedom and Human Rights. The following 40-minute video is a segment from the “Mato Paha-Bear Butte Spiritual Forum,” an event in 2007 that brought together Traditional Healers (Medicine Men) and Spiritual Leaders from many Tribal Nations to provide ancestral teachings about the spiritual significance of Mato Paha. It was the first time in decades that such a gathering took place. Bear Butte is held sacred by the Cheyenne, Arapaho, the Sioux nations, as well as to the Kiowa and Arapaho, among others. The Lakota believe it to be “the most powerful land mass in their religion. They consider Bear Butte sacred for its location near the Black Hills and due to the fact that one can find the seven sacred elements – land, air, water, rocks, animals, plants, and fire – surrounding the Butte. The Lakota believe that Bear Butte is most sacred when worshippers pray there with the Lakota Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe.” To the Cheyenne, Bear Butte is the home of their Culture, Language and Values. Henrietta Mann, interim president of the tribal college located in Weatherford, Okla recently shared the story of Sweet Medicine, who “was said to have been raised by an old woman and banished from the tribe after a crime of violence. After four years, he emerged from present-day Bear Butte preceded by a powerful spirit who burned sweetgrass to purify the world. Cheyenne traditional tribal government, military societies, code of law, rules of conduct and prophecies are attributed to him.” Today, Bear Butte is threatened by economic development, various types of pollution, and human desecration.
