    UPDATED JANUARY 19, 2001
    NEW SEARCH FOR NEWS BY STATE

    The tension rises as those who have been active in seeking Leonard Peltier's Clemency wait for an announcement of President Clinton's DECISION.  According to CNN, announcements on clemencies are expected to be made later today-this evening.

    Speculation has risen that in some way the deal between the independent counsel investigating Clinton's prevarications under oath in the Monica Lewinski scandal may have hinged upon his clemency decisions concerning both Whitewater figures and Leonard Peltier.

    Tension must be almost unbearable for Leonard  as he waits to learn whether he will ever walk free under wide skies with family or hope slam with finality.

    The Staff of Native News joins supporters around the world in prayer as we await the White House announcement.

    HEATING FUND
    Emergency heating funds....the weather has turned sharply colder and it appears that it will be a much colder winter than the last few we have experienced creating an incredible hardship for many.
    Money orders sent to the Grass Roots Oglala Lakota Oyate will be distributed (or paid on account) for those in need of heating assistance.  In effect we will be creating a "voucher" system.  Your donation may be of any amount and several put together to meet minimums necessary for orders.
