About me:
Standing Silent Nation is a documentary feature that chronicles the story of a Lakota family's struggle to develop an industrial hemp economy on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. This myspace is for the film, a better way to reach Alex and the White Plumes is through their website: www.bringbacktheway.com
Who I'd like to meet:
The US Congress to have them pass a bill to distinguish between industrial hemp and marijuana, so we can grow hemp in the United States.

CHIEF BIG FOOT RIDERS RETURN TO WOUNDED KNEE, FREEDOM

13 Day Ride Began Under Weight of U.S. Treaty, Ends On December 29th With Free Nation
21st Annual Ride Returns To New Life for Free Lakota People


Wounded Knee, Lakota (formerly South Dakota) - Thirteen days and 287 miles ago, 44 people mounted horses and began the Memorial Chief Big Foot Ride in honor of Si Tanka (Chief Big Foot) and his unarmed band of Mniconjou and Hunkpapa refuges who were slaughtered by U.S. Calvary in 1890 at Wounded Knee.

But while these 44 riders began their journey under the shadow of U.S. Treaty, their numbers will swell to over 100 and end under the protection of a free and sovereign Lakota Nation.

The ride began on December 15th in Standing Rock, the anniversary of Sitting Bull's death, and has traveled through fierce snowstorm and cold, the same conditions faced by the 357 mostly women, children and elder men at Wounded Knee Creek 127 years ago.

"The purpose is to ride the spirit trail of Chief Big Foot," said Tegihya Kte also known as Garry Rowland, leader of the riders and recent delegate of the Lakota Freedom effort in Washington D.C.. "The Tree of Life died in Wounded Knee in 1890, and the ride was begun to mend the Sacred Hoop."

Riders ranging in age from 10 to 65 travel the footsteps of their Ancestors, along the way offering prayer for the women, children, the Elders, and the conditions the Lakota people are forced to live under today. For the children, the ride is also a powerful introduction to the sacred relationship between the Lakota and the horse and the courage their Ancestors took during their 13 day

WHITE PLUME FAMILY LOSES THEIR HOME IN FIRE

On December 21st around 9AM, Debra White Plume woke up to a fire in their family home-- the home they built from the ground up on their land. The home was a cherished place that emanated with their love and spirit. The White Plumes need donations to help rebuild. Please see below for ways you can help.

Alex wrote in an email:
"We are all alive,and coming out of shock now. Thank you for your prayers and support, we want to remain on the land. We appreciate the generosity of everyone but we cannot accept donations of old clothes. We are going to rebuild and need financial support. Every penny will be appreciated... The house burned to the ground so we are starting now to work to clear the rubble and prepare to rebuild. Alex."

All proceeds from the sales of "Standing Silent Nation" through February will go directly to the White Plume family. Please buy your copy today or make a generous cash donation--nothing is too large or small.

Send your check or money order to:
Alex White Plume, PO Box 71, Manderson, SD 57756

Buy your DVD at:
http://standingsilentnation.bigcartel.com/

We will keep you posted on any news we hear.

We appreciate your support of the project and any help in spreading the word!

Dear All,

If you can't use the links, goto my blogs and you'll find them there.

This post and donations link is also online at:

http://www.hempreport.com/2007/12/white-plume-home-burns-to-ground.html

This morning I got up to go to work like every weekday morning. I work an early AM shift, but I still check my email before I leave. This morning there was an email with this stunning subject line in my Vote Hemp and HIA Board in boxes

"Fwd: White Plume home burned down today."

The email was from Tom Cook and he writes:

8:30 pm Chadron. Debra White Plume just called, & asked me to contact you with word their home burned up this morning, around 9am.

Still in her housecoat when discovering the blaze, she only had time to snatch her grandson, pipe, purse, and cellphone & get out the door. Everything burned.

Total loss.

All papers even computers. 'It all happened in a half hour,' she said.

Alex had left earlier for Gordon, & came back around noon to bemoan the debris.

By nightfall the Fire Marshall had concluded it was an electrical fire.

My first though was to put up a diary at Daily Kos and on The Hemp Report and try and get donations to help out Alex and his family. But it had to wait so I would not be late to work.

Now that I'm home I read that Alex and his family may have a place to stay temporarily at Tom Cook's place in Nebraska. They still are in need of clothes and food.

I am going to use our PayPal account at The Hemp Report to accept donations and send the proceeds to Tom Cook for Alex.

Please click below to make a donation. The email address for PayPal donations is hempreport@mac.com:



I hope to be able to get enough donations to get them some Safeway and Target gift cards.

If anyone has a late model Ap
