Oglala , SD. - The 11th annual Oglala Commemoration is being held on June 26, 2010, in Oglala.
This annual event is to honor and remember the lives lost during the 1970s Civil War on the Reservation and to also raise awareness toward the unjust imprisonment of AIM member Leonard Peltier whose incarceration resulted from a Shootout incident between AIM members and Federal police agents at Oglala 35 years ago.
It is also an event which promotes reconciliation and healing for the 1970s events with emphasis on alternatives or restorative justice.
Guest Speakers will include the LP-DOC, Tom Poor Bear, more to be announced.
We invite all friends, family and Leonard Peltier supporters to join us for this annual event.
