Ceremony is Not a Crime


Ceremony is Not a Crime - YouTube
After 2 months of public pressure, thanks to people around the world, the US Forest Service agreed to close the McCloud River for the Winnemem Wintu Coming of Age ceremony in June-July, 2012. But instead of protecting us from harassment, Forest Service law enforcement became the biggest harassers, interrupting ceremony every day. By the end of the four days, they had slapped Chief Sisk with citations for federal crimes, with penalties totaling $10,000 in fines or 1 year in jail.
PLEASE HELP Chief Sisk's legal defense by donating any amount you can:winnememwintu.us/citations.
