On February 21, 2005, Judge Elizabeth Bennet will make her decision on the extradition of John Graham who is charged by the U.S. government for the murder of Anne Mae Aquash.
I endorse the John Graham Defence campaign and encourage everyone to help out in any way they can.
The United States is responsible for the murder of 67 of our people in Pine Ridge, including Anne Mae Aquash.
These people might still be alive today if not for the U.S. government’s programme of harassment and assassination against our people who were fighting for their lives and land.
On February 6, 1976, Leonard Peltier was arrested for extradition to the U.S. on charges for the deaths of two FBI agents at Jumping Bull Ranch on June 26, 1975.
The day of Jumping Bull shoot-out, 1/8th of the Pine Ridge Reservation was signed over for uranium exploration and extraction on 133,000 acres of land.
This struggle continues today. John Graham was active in fighting uranium mining in South Dakota, Saskatchewan, and B.C. for ten years.
Our people in the trenches should not be handed over to our enemies.

Secwepemc Native Youth Movement stands with our Brother John Graham.
Secwepemc NYM believes that no Indian should be forced into the white man’s courts or prisons. The white man has come here to our Land and invaded every aspect of our lives. They have waged war on us and that has forced us to fight back and resist their invasion and forced assimilation. When we fight for the freedom of our People we have always been criminalized and thrown in their prisons. This is not new and this will keep on happening until we are Free.
To our brother John Graham, keep on fighting, stay strong.
Warriors Unite. Free Leonard Peltier.
In the Spirit of Resistance,
Secwepemc Native Youth Movement
