PBR To Sell Majority Shares To Spire Capital Partners

The news is out.Randy Bernard has announced that the PBR will be selling majority shares to Spire Capital Partners from NYC.Spires will become the majority investor in the PBR when and if this agreement is ratified after the April shareholders meeting while also receiving regulatory approval.What does this mean for the PBR? I ,for one,cannot say.According to the press release  the original shareholders  should benefit monetarily from this but this move negates their reason for starting the PBR.Will it be a good thing? I don't know.Randy Bernard and Tom Teague seem to think so.I guess we will just have to wait and see if putting more money in shareholders' pockets is the only benefit that will arise from this.Although Spire reps say they will keep the executives intact that is the standard promise in every sell out or take over and a few months down the line we see the top echelon replaced.That is only natural in business.

Obviously the PBR felt this move was needed to foster the continuanc eof its growth internationally.But what of the "Bull riding group owned by,run by and for the riders"?That issue will be dead in the water once an investment company takes over.Is it best for the riders to give up their autonomy.Was not the PBR founded  so that the riders could control their own destiny? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Already comments are appearing on line with speculations about how event ticket prices will go sky high; and who will get axed.So far the comments are raising many questions.I just hope this works out for the riders.

Review of Peltier Play By Stephanie Schwartz

Here is another great article written by Stephanie Schwartz.I hope you enjoy it and  take Leonard Peltier into your hearts.

Transcendent Magic:

The world premiere of "My Life Is My Sun Dance", written by Leonard Peltier with Harvey Arden

Boulder, Colorado   March 16, 2006

 

Live theater can be magic.  The goal of actors and directors is to perfect illusion onstage so as to transport the audience into their world; to become one with them, to care about them.  Those moments are sometimes rare but always beautiful.  The illusion of theater, perfected as an art, becomes true magic.

 

Last night, in a small blackbox theater on an upper floor of the Boulder [Colorado] Museum of Contemporary Art, an audience of about a hundred people witnessed something that far transcended magic and far transcended theater as it is normally experienced.  They witnessed theater become sacred, in the most spiritual, most powerful sense.

 

Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance, was a book published in 1999 by the Native American political prisoner, Leonard Peltier, with Harvey Arden as his editor.  It is a collection of Peltier’s essays, poems, and reflections on his life and his work from within prison walls, his love for his People and cultural traditions, and his understanding that through forgiveness, through “forgiving the unforgivable”, comes healing; that forgiveness and fair treatment is the real power within each person.

 

Peltier’s words were originally adapted to solo readings by his editor, devoted friend and supporter, Harvey Arden.  Now, in 2007 and ever-more timely, the words have been adapted to stage by Harvey Arden, Cathie Quigley-Soderman, and Doug Foote, directed by Quigley-Soderman, and produced by Warrior Artists Productions along with the Museum’sinternal Theater 13.  The production stars Lakota actor, Doug Foote, as Leonard Peltier, and features Doug Foote’s Good Feather Drum/Singers (Robert Ironshield, Nick Foote, and Mark Silentbear).  Intermission speakers and singers vary by performance.

 

Those are the facts.  But what the facts don’t depict was last night’s opening night performance.  Transcendent magic.  A performance so profound, so powerful, that it brought the audience to tear-flowing, stunned silence followed by a standing ovation.  That 71 year old Harvey Arden stood during intermission, with a talking feather in his hand and tears in his eyes as he spoke authentically of the real power and tragedy of Leonard Peltier, was enough to touch the hearts of everyone there.  Southern Cherokee singer JD Nash stopped in for one night, one intense song, giving his own searing message of choice and hope as a gift to the audience.  Cast singer Mark Silentbear offered up his own composition, Peltier, as a haunting, evocative memory while the Good Feather Drum, singing and playing from time to time, brought the reality and the beauty of the Lakota Traditional Ways alive.  Moreover, the “technicals” were superb with the so-brief historical film clips, back-lit shadow work, and the unique lighting techniques which brought attention and emphasis to the riveting words.

 

But it was Doug Foote, Wiyaka Waste, from the Standing Rock Lakota Reservation of South and North Dakota who created the greatest miracle.  A champion Fancy Dancer and Ceremonial Singer, fluent in his Lakota language, not long back from being injured during two Tours of Duty in Iraq, Foote is new to lead-acting but obviously not new to pain, individual or collective or cultural.  Doug Foote walked onto that stage but, as was witnessed by everyone there, a gripping, indisputable metamorphosis took place.  As spirit flowed through him, the face, the body language, the soul became Leonard Peltier.  Rarely does an actor obtain this level of transcendence.  But Doug Foote not only managed it but merged the audience right along with him, into the prison cell, the life, into the heart, the song, and into the forgiveness of Leonard Peltier.

 

It all started during the time of the horrific 1970’s Reign of Terror on the Oglala Lakota Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, an infamous time of great violence and mutual corruption between tribal officials and U.S. government employees.  Two FBI agents were killed during a gun battle on Reservation land on which numerous Lakota men, women, and children were camped.  A Lakota man was also killed but his death has never been investigated.  Leonard Peltier was convicted of murdering the two FBI agents after everyone else was acquitted as having acted in self-defense.  His was the sole conviction, a conviction based on untruth and hate, a vendetta.

 

The United States Courts have since admitted that Peltier’s conviction of murder was based on incomplete, misleading, withheld, and out-right fraudulent evidence.  The U.S. Prosecutor has even conceded they do not know who actually shot the two FBI agents.

 

It was the Freedom of Information Act which allowed Peltier’s attorneys to discover the lies, manipulation, and deceit perpetrated in his original trial.  Yet, a new trial was denied with the accusation that Peltier, by virtue of his presence at the time of the gun battle, had “aided and abetted” even though that was never defined as to how he might have aided and abetted anything.  Clearly, the government’s “own” had been killed and someone must pay.  Peltier didn’t shoot those FBI agents but he has sacrificed for it with his life’s years.

 

For 31 years, exactly one-half of his lifetime now, Peltier has been behind prison bars.  Over and over, misconduct and malfeasance on the part of the legal system seems to have permeated every facet of Leonard Peltier's life in prison and his court case.  Yet he remains a model prisoner, establishing numerous humanitarian projects within the prison system as well as back on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

 

The late Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama, Amnesty International, International Indian Treaty Council, the UN Commission on Human Rights, the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, Sister Helen Prejean, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Coretta Scott King, Mikhail Gorbachev, Gloria Steinem, Wilma Mankiller, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, National Congress of American Indians, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights, the Human Rights Commission of Spain, the Belgian Parliament, the European Parliament, and a host of other notables all have worked, petitioned, and pleaded for his release.

 

Yet, still, the United States government bows to the pressure of vengeful FBI protests and demonstrations and allows this man, now 62 years old and in ill health, to continue to be unfairly imprisoned.

 

If the FBI had hoped to send a “message” to indigenous people with his imprisonment, they were successful.  But it isn’t the message of fear they intended.  In truth, for the American Indian Nations as well as the world at large, the continued imprisonment of Leonard Peltier has shown that the best of humanity is found right in himself, in the nobility of a spirit so confronted with the treachery and ugliness of life that it has transcended and become a beacon and message of hope, courage, and integrity for his People and for all people.  Leonard Peltier has become the Nelson Mandela of America.

Gathering of Elders In Peru

The following article from earthworks is about the wonderful gathering of Elders being held in Peru this week.may the Prophecy come true and may the Elders usher in  Peace,Security and Prosperity.This is another guest  article. Greetings!           As the time is drawing nearer, we are pleased to share the following press release with you. Your monetary donations and prayers have helped greatly to sponsor many elders from around the world who will be present during this monumental event. For those of you who could not join us in Peru, please remember to tune into this exciting time in history by holding your own ceremonies during the same time and dates where ever you may be. Thank you for all of your support and prayers!

Native Nations Convene Spring Summit to Fulfill Pre-Columbian Peace Prophecy - by Paul West Lake Titicaca, Peru - As the world stands on the brink of all-out war, this spring equinox, indigenous leaders and tribal elders from throughout the Americas will make the long journey to Peru for a special summit convened to fulfill their peoples' Pre-Columbian peace prophecy. From March 19-23, some of the last living direct descendents the new world's first nations will gather on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Peru for inter-tribal ceremonies and cross-cultural exchanges intended to realize their traditions' long-standing common vision of uniting the Americas. The special summit of native nations stands in stark contrast to the gridlocked gatherings of global leaders attended exclusively by members of the ruling class from economic superpowers. It comes at a time when the prospect of catastrophic events like global warming and world wars are causing people everywhere to perceive an urgent need for a new way of relating to each other and the earth. The fulfillment of the prophecy, known by Native American nations as the story of The Eagle and the Condor, has been believed by many for centuries to be a precursor to a new era of peace and prosperity that will begin in the Western Hemisphere and spread throughout the world. The symbolic story states that when the Condor of South America flies again with the Eagle of Central and North America, peace will reign on earth. The elders of Peru--keepers of the ancient Incan peace vision--view their coming together at this time as the prophesy's long-awaited fulfillment and have called on their counterparts from throughout the Americas to be present at this historic event. Peaceworkers around the world will also participate through synchronous ceremonies held at sacred sites from Africa to Asia. "Contrary to popular belief, Armageddon and the Apocalypse are not inevitable"; shares summit organizer Adam Yellowbird DeArmon. Globalization has brought us to the brink of a new civilization, and we must now vision goals and dreams of re-uniting and not be influenced by the old paradigms that are pulling us apart and destroying our world. "The natural world is just waiting for us to emphasize forgiveness over fighting, gratitude over greed and bring our relationships with each other and our earth back into balance. Our traditions believe that a better world is probable, not just possible." North and Central American Attendees Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj 13th generation Quiche Mayan High Priest and President of the Mayan Council of Elders living in Peru Grandmother Margarita Nunez Garcia Olmeca elder and member of the Native Council of Elders of the Americas living in Mexico Leon Secatero Spiritual elder of the Canoncito Band of the Navajo who is a frequent speaker on human rights at the United Nations now living in the United States Ernesto Alvarado Apache/celtic descendant who is a social worker and community builder in Colorado James Tipton Geologist and descendent of the Quachita of the Cherokee Nation now living in Arkansas Uqualla Havasupai wisdom keeper from the Grand Canyon now living in Arizona Ruben Saufkie, Sr. Hopi elder from the Water Clan who helped lead the 2006 H2OPI Sacred Water Run from Arizona to the World Water Forum in Mexico City currently living at the Hopi Village, Second Mesa in Arizona Rev.

Hope And Unity

This was sent to me byStephi(Silverdrach)It is part of a series of guest writers on Indian Affairs.

This Commentary byMarty Fire Rider, (Elaya Kayaka Hokshela)

March 5, 2007

 

A Message of:  HOPE & UNITY

 

It is the American Indian warriors, leaders and advocates that are taking the fight to the American legal and political system. It is hard to say when the governments Indian War policies will end, but it has not stopped since the Black Robes of Columbus.

 

Since arriving on our continent the dominate culture has assaulted the very existence of our native culture while forcing Indian people to be on the defense. Today Indian activists and leaders are offensively taking the battle to the dominate culture placing them on the defense. All across America our people are initiating numerous legal and legislative battles. As our people gain more educational opportunities to understand the legal and political system we become spiritually stronger as cultural warriors promoting and protecting our traditional ways. Understand; “Many people spend a lifetime wondering who they are, the American Indian does not have that problem.”

 

There will come a day when we will speakwith one voice and be united as one people. For apathy serves only those who wish you to serve them. However, we need vision to move into this new century strong and confident while forging our own destiny by our own hands. That day will be the defining moment when the adversarial relationship with the U.S. Governments attitude changes from romantic belligerence to great respect. A binding covenant contract of sovereignty will be forged. Our united leadership will one day be the cohesive force that will heal a divide nation. Hope, tenacity and our spiritual culture has been our great strength that has survived 500 years of overt and covert genocide. Vine Deloria, said it right in 1968, The Sentinel, "We wish more tribes could realize that through UNITY and willingness to work hard together much can be done." Today we now live in a time of great hope when our young are proud of their Indigenous identity where the ceremonies and language are growing with renewed cultural interest.

 

We must respect each other and especially our detractors, adversaries and enemies. One must know their opponent to overcome them. Remove the anger from your hearts, for hate begets more hate. Listen though your heart and the spirit will guide you. Be kind to one another, support each other as our ancestors did. We must not act like the dominate culture with greed and ego. “Ego is the absence of Wisdom; For wisdom is to serve the greater good, while ego is to serve ones own self preservation.” We must avoid evil if we are to ever heal and apply our energies in a positive way. Learn that all the material wealth can not go with you to the spirit world.  Materialism is a nice comfort, but learn what our ancestors taught, generosity and reciprocity.

 

Stop the hate. Indian people need to adapt a National Commandment that states, “We Shall Not Speak Ill Of Another Indian”. Constructive criticism is healthy it is a chance to not find fault but to improve upon another’s hard work professionally. Personal attacks and character assassination only lower that persons virtue to a level worst than the person they are criticizing. So do you speak through your heart by the spirit or do you speak through your ego? Who do you serve? Whose god are you serving, your own god of ego or the god who serves the greater good of all mankind? That day will come when each one of us must answer that question.

 

Character, Honor, Integrity, Humility and Sacrifice are the core of Traditional Indian Warriors and Leadership; there is no substitute. Be a good leader by setting an example for your people. Leadership is sacrifice and commitment by humbly serving the people before your own needs. Understand your strength comes from the people and leadership is a gift from the people; use it wisely. Put your people before yourself and you will always be first in the eyes of your people. Be distrustful of disenrollment, for you might be disenrolling all Indian sovereignty; the U.S. Congress (big brother) is watching. Remember, titles are to give structure to an organization. It was not meant to confer power in the hands of a few. Be a wise leader, listen and lead from your heart.

 

 If we are to ever achieve true sovereignty then we must put our petty differences aside and stand united as One. Unity will be our great wall against the flood of the corruption and materialism from the dominate culture. For their houses, families and communities are divided. Their children easily succumb to substance abuse and peer pressure, their spirits are sleeping. A strong family and community values are positive preventative measures. The Mormon religion highly values “love your family and your neighbor” above materialism. They live in crime free communities with a communal sense of respect for all mankind. Despite their strong spiritual belief that parallels our native spiritual culture, they live in spiritual harmony while utilizing technological materialism to better their daily liveswithout allowing it to dominate or destroy their communities and family cohesiveness.  What has happen to our Indian communities? We must keep our daily lives in perspective with prioritizing family, community, cultural and spiritual ceremonies by placing them first, not last. Get involved be committed to your families and communities. For our traditional ways are a “Repository of Moral Wisdom.”

 

When your prayers are so heavy with the pain and suffering for your people that the tears run down your face while your body trembles and falls to the ground because your heart can not endure the evil inflected upon our people, that is when you are walking a spiritual path for your people. That is when leadership will spring from your heart and the people will come before ones own personal needs. You must feel their pain to heal their hearts.

 

As a collective national indigenous people we need intellectual debate in a positive arena of ideas to find common ground with uncommon solutions. An example is the AMERIND Risk Management Corp, a not-for-profit American Indian insurance company. What a great idea to serve our peoples needs. We need to keep the Circle strong through sharing knowledge while focusing on wisdom and the spiritual vision to better our people’s lives. Yet, be not afraid to think outside the circle when it comes to the dominate culture. We can be a positive advocacy "think tank" of dedicated proactive Native American leaders who volunteer their time, money and resources for the betterment of all Indian people. Our goal should be to create strategies to find solutions to continuing problems in Indian Country. We need programs that encourage self sufficiency, not dependency. For the governments dependency programs has created third world poverty resulting in the social ills of abuse and lack of self respect.

 

We need to encourage the legions of volunteers to participate in positive activities for example; spiritual, traditional, community and activism. We should encourage our people to work within the educational, political and legal institutions of America as needed. To more effectively utilize those institutions knowledge to empower our People with the tools to develop a better future. Yet, we must not allow them to influence our traditional culture. We need to challenge and question the political, social and contemporary status quo. To become the voice of the people, especially those who have no voice.

 

Keep your spirit strong for our time is coming. Some have seen the visions and have heard the prophecies. The time to heal is NOW. As warriors we will continue this political battle with the dominate culture. For real sovereignty and unity is not just a dream if we continue to believe in something greater then ourselves. After generations of unbearable suffering and sacrifice we are still here, and growing spirituality stronger with each day. I have always stated that the Indian Wars have never ended just the tactics have changed, for today our new weapons are the pen and the projectiles are now our words. They (the writers of history) can not keep avoiding the arrows of truth forever.

 

"That takes dedication and faith in Indian people that somehow, someday, Indians will UNITE and become the force that they should." Vine Deloria, 1968, published article, "The Sentinel"

 

Stay Blessed,
