Ladies and Gentlemen, loves friends,
My name is Evelin Cervenkova and I is the Begründerin of the Lakota Oyate information in Leipzig. The Lakota is North American Indians and also Sioux is called. The reservations of the Lakota are the poorest in the USA.
For prospective customers I send information about Lakota and other Indians away since September 1999 free of charge by email in German and English, as well as German information for learning the Lakotasprache. Also one can inform on my homepage http://fr.lakota7.bei.t-online.de/ free of charge about the Lakotasprache.
I cannot believe it yet at all that I really with the open air concert of Paul McCartney in the Leipziger central stadium on Friday, which was 4 June 2004 thereby.
It was already nearly 20,45 o'clock as I in the stadium inside came and on the screen beside the stage Paul McCartney saw, believes I that I really inside was and I was “happy”.
Paul McCartney is not only pleasant to me as musicians, but because he belongs also to the artists, who support the Lakota Village project on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in Süddakota in the USA financially. Which makes Paul further popular is that he is endeavored in the national language to speak in each case.
Which impressed me, were not only its famous songs, but that he said: “Sometimes we want to say to someone somewhat, but we are perhaps too shy. Or we do not have to say the opportunity it. And then it is too late, because that died. … Thus, if their somewhat want to say to someone, then it says!”
In honours of John Lennon sang Paul “Here Today” and for the deceased George Harrison “universe Things Must passport”.
Which I to actually always communicate wanted am the following:
I have a future establishment of association to the support and co-operation with North American Indians, particularly after the model of the group of actions of Indians and human rights in Munich in the eye, because I think that straight are in the east of Germany still many reserves here.
Which makes me sad, it is that some say: “What can we do in the east? We are nevertheless much poorer than in the west!” or “I am unemployed, there can I the Indians nevertheless not help!”
My personal opinion is that everyone can help and cooperate, because a head for thinking and many positive abilities has everyone of us.
That world-wide admitted of Lakota (Indian) Vine Deloria jr. writes: “Only trunks will survive.” I would modify that in: “Only collectives will survive.” A Cherokee Indianerin asked me some years ago, when I reported it of the high unemployment rate in the east of Germany: “Why not to collectives and does create you in this way does a new basis of existence unite your unemployed person to you?”
I wish myself that straight humans capable in the east of Germany are here, which with me an association after the model of the group of actions of Indians and human rights in Munich would like to base. This group of actions is Germany far the only one where, one quarterly a brochure over current happening with the North American Indians acquire can.
In the year 2001 I together with my friend Gaby Krüger from Frankfurt in the or in the planned Lecture route for Russell Means participated. Russell Means is Lakota (Indian) and as Indian leader and an actor world-wide well-known. Together with Dennis bank was Russell Means of one of the initiators of the occupation of Wounded on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in Süddakota in the year 1973, in order to make world-wide attentive on the bad social situation of the North American Indians, particularly the Lakota.
Since Russell Means in the autumn 2001 had the opportunity, to the governor by new Mexico to be selected, the Lecture route in Germany did not come off unfortunately.
Thus, if you liked to live in the east of Germany and create an association, in order to support North American Indians and cooperate with them, then you write please the email address Lakotaoyateinfo@web.de!
Thank you very much!
Yours sincerely
Evelin Cervenkova
