On that day, three lives were lost and many lives were forever changed. We remember as we "Honor Our Warriors" past. present and future and bring awareness of and updates on Leonard Peltier's case as he approaches his parole hearing in July.


Activities begin with a Spiritual Ceremony at the Little Family Cemetery at the gravesite of Joe Stuntz at or around 1 PM, followed by a Memorial Walk to the Jumping Bull Property. There we gather and share words and memories, tears and laughter as we remember the murders still unsolved, and those who have walked on since in the struggle.
