Holiday Cheer for the Children of Pine Ridge

Leonard Peltier is a political prisoner who has been incarcerated since 1977 on the charges of killing two F.B.I. agents (see Unthanksgiving article for further information). The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee holds an annual holiday gift drive for the children on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They encourage people to give to those less fortunate. Clothing, toys, etc. are all accepted.
This year The Righteous Griots were able to put two boxes of gifts together and send them to these children. Within these boxes were donated and purchased gifts. Inside were: clothing, educational coloring books, flashcards (multiplication, subtraction, and division), pens, pencils, markers, crayons and paint kits.
The Righteous Griots want to make sure all children will have a happy holiday and also educate themselves in the process. If anyone wants to still donate gifts please contact, Calvin-Chairman of the Griots, or you can directly send gifts to this address:
