Leonard Peltier Citas

• Ningún ser humano debería temer jamás por su propia vida a causa de sus creencias políticas o religiosas. Todos estamos juntos en esto, amigos míos, los ricos, los pobres, los rojos, los blancos, los negros, los marrones y los amarillos. Compartimos la responsabilidad por la Madre Tierra y por quienes viven y respiran en ella... no lo olvidéis nunca.

• I don’t know how to save the world. I don’t have the answers or The Answer. I hold no secret knowledge as to how to fix the mistakes of generations past and present. I only know that without compassion and respect for all of Earth’s inhabitants, none of us will survive—nor will we deserve to.

• To heal will require real effort, and a change of heart, from all of us. To heal means that we will begin to look upon one another with respect and tolerance instead of prejudice, distrust and hatred. We will have to teach our children-as well as ourselves-to love the diversity of humanity....We can do it. Yes, you and I and all of us together. Now is the time. Now is the only possible time. Let the Great Healing begin.

• Silence,they say,is the voice of complicity. But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is the message,just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are ring out and resonate in every word and deed. Yes,become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you are. You are your own comeuppance. You become your own message. You are the message. In the Spirit of Crazy Horse.

• Justice is not a flexible tool. Unless we all do our part to ensure that justice is applied equally to all human beings, we are a party to its abuse. We must stand together to protect the rights of others.

• I am tired, I want to go home. I want to continue my art work, I want to plant a garden, I want to walk in the forest, I want to walk in the fields, I just want to lie down on the grass and feel the sun against my skin. I want to be able to hold my family close to me and not have someone tell me time's up.

• The America that never cared or felt guilty about portraying us as undignified people on their television screen, or in some old history book that never stated truthfully the facts of our invasion or the cruelty we had to endure for generations.

• Siguen sin querer admitir ante el mundo que éste no es el mejor sistema judicial, ni el más justo e igualitario. Y que son culpables de llevar a la gente a la cárcel. No quieren, o nunca querrán, admitir estas cosas.

• No creo que el Gobierno Federal me tema en absoluto, conocen la verdad. Saben que no soy una persona peligrosa, me tienen como rehén para disuadir a otras personas de enfrentarse a su valioso sistema. En sus mentes, bien o mal se espera que el público se acueste por ellos. Puedes ver ejemplos de esto, en la masacre de Ruby Ridge y la masacre de Waco, donde mataron a todos esos niños y miembros del grupo.

• Probablemente haya un alto porcentaje de nativos americanos, así como de no indios, que piensen que participar en esta gran economía americana que has mencionado es y se ha convertido en una receta para el desastre a largo plazo, porque se ha respondido a los problemas sociales y medioambientales con una mentalidad de droga, es decir, cualquier cosa por la solución rápida. Y se ha entrenado al público para que siempre crea que está a una compra de la felicidad.

• Si nos fijamos en las situaciones de Irak y Afganistán, se están convirtiendo rápidamente en algo muy parecido a nuestras reservas. Tendrán gobiernos títeres financiados y controlados por un gobierno estadounidense que desvió sus recursos. No hace falta ser licenciado en Filología Inglesa para leer lo que está escrito en la pared; estoy aquí como advertencia para los demás, igual que esos hombres que están en Guantánamo son una advertencia para los demás: si nos plantáis cara os enfrentáis a estas mismas consecuencias.

• El gobierno y sus fiscales intentan continuamente bloquear mis esfuerzos por conseguir mi libertad y sacar a la luz sus fechorías judiciales; intentan sistemáticamente impedir que obtenga los archivos del FBI que sé que me exonerarían. No conozco las condiciones exactas de todos los demás, pero sé que se me ha negado una atención sanitaria adecuada y apropiada y sufro mucho por ello.

• I was like so many others passion-ately involved in trying to bring those truths to the world's attention. We did our very best to peacefully do that. The city, state, and federal governments did their very best to quell our efforts. They were used to using heavy-handed tactics to silence us.

• They [Federal Goverment] don't care if I am guilty or innocent. I serve their purpose in here. Other than what I have mentioned, what fear could they possibly have from a old man with dimming eyesight, arthritis, diabetes, and other health issues that render me hardly a threat to anyone.
