Happy Holidays, From Leonard Peltier and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
Happy Holiday Season, I wish you and all your relations a Happy New Year! I want to thank you for your ongoing support, generous donations and gifts for the children and families on many reservations, we were able to make their 2006 Holiday Season happier. As I sit here in my cell I must share with you that I have very few joyous moments, and hearing that many children and families received gifts from supporters worldwide brings me much joy and happiness. On a funny note I must also share that my smile is contagious for as I tell my brothers that are here with me, that the Leonard Peltier Annual Gift Drive provided gifts and happiness to many children and families on various different reservations throughout the United States, they also smile and we can hear the children's laughter and happiness, for no bars, prisons, or prison walls, can keep happiness, unity and solidarity silent. I hope you take a few minutes to read the following update from the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee regarding the Gift drive and continue to help us with making future gift drives even better.
Again I thank you and wish you and your loved ones a Happy Holiday Season and Happy New Year!
Pilamaya yelo

A Message from the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee:
Once again, Leonard Peltier supporters provided much happiness and support to the children and families at Pine Ridge, during the Holiday Season. For the past 25 years supporters have been sending gifts, donations, and clothing to the Leonard Peltier Annual Gift Drive. Earlier this month the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee sent an announcement and update via our website and list-serve that four boxes of new clothes (please see section on Free City) had been received at Pine Ridge and that toys were needed. Since our announcement over 20 boxes of new toys and gifts were received, and the gifts are currently being distributed among the children and families of Pine Ridge. We are currently waiting for pictures of the gift distribution from Eileen, Leonard Peltier Annual Gift Drive Volunteer for Pine Ridge.
On behalf of Leonard Peltier, and the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee Thank you, Leonard Peltier Supporters for your support in making the Holiday Season for the children and families of Pine Ridge a Happier Season.
