Now, after nearly half a century in prison after being convicted of shooting and killing two FBI agents in South Dakota, Peltier, who turned 79 years old on Sept. 12, is waiting to be told he can go home. He is hoping to be released, either by President Joe Biden or a federal parole board. Peltier said his fading health is another reason he should be allowed to go free.

Today marks the anniversary of the Wounded Knee incident, also known as Wounded Knee II. Taking place over 71 days, this event began when a number of Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement (AIM) members took over and occupied the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. The incident gained widespread media attention. The occupation was in protest of tribal chairman Richard Wilson and the U.S. government’s failure to fulfill treaties made with Native American tribes. The standoff officially ended on May 8th, 1973.

Congratulations young lady!

“I am so proud of myself and what I have accomplished and what I am showing to other people that they can do,” Scherich said. “Anybody, anywhere, especially on the reservation, there’s opportunities everywhere you look. You can do just about anything if you put your mind to it and you persevere and you stay strong. You stay true to yourself. You can do just about anything.”

Hihanni relatives! On March 16, 2024 from 11am to 3pm, a book signing for Richard Moves Camp’s “My Grandfather’s Altar: Five Generations of Lakota Holy Men” where he’ll be signing and discussing his new book.

POSTPONED: Well, it’s official folks – we are now completely sold out of “My Grandfather’s Altar”! We have another batch of copies currently on the way, but we’re afraid they won’t make it in time for the big book signing this Saturday (March 16, 2024).

We understand the interest and request for this particular book is ever-growing so as a result we have decided, along with Mr. Richard Moves Camp, to postpone the book signing to March 23, 2024 from 11am to 3pm. This not only gives time for the new batch of books to come in, it allows more people the opportunity to access their very own copy of “My Grandfather’s Altar”. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
