Update on Mason Neck, Water Protector and political prisoner.
Mason is a loved member of the Sicangu Lakota Tribe and Oceti Sakowin Camp. He is a pipe carrier, father, grandson, artist, organizer, and tireless advocate for his Sicangu Nation. He has been wrongly imprisoned since March, still awaiting trial after being profiled. He is asking that folks pray for and with him, send him letters, songs, and books on animals, drawing, or Lakota language/history.
He sent a message to those who have shown him support:
“I want to thank everyone who took precious time out of their day to write me sharing the encouraging words, art, books, songs, culture, with all the Love, prayers & support. With the little you do, you help me in a major way. You have done a good deed and I am very thankful. May God bless you in every way that is needed. My spirits are high as the eagles in the sky. You didn’t only help me, you’ve helped my daughters as well because they need me to be strong. It’s also my love for my family & friends that gets me through when times get hard, especially being away for so long. I continue to pray for the people and all of Unci Maka. As a sundancer, although I couldn’t be at sundance this year, being on the frontline for this nation is an everyday thing. I have all my Love to give so this fight goes on and my spirit is to ostrong to let up. If you can write me support letters for the judge to read, Polamiya Pelo!!! Oyate Nunkte wacin yelo!”
