A special thanks to Deanie Lerner and Hannah Waite, my dear friends and Larry's, who provided the photos and the Star Tribune article on Larry. Also to Alan Forrest for his beautiful photo of Larry doing the sage smudge.

Larry taught me that a man has two legs, to stand in two worlds, to bridge the seeming differences between white and red, between traditional and contemporary. He gave me courage and confidence to be who I am, to be authentically me, "Indian" and white man, in balance between heart and mind, capable of standing firmly rooted in Mother Earth and soaring with the White Eagle. He was "wabishkie-wun" which means "white feather." I am wabishkie-ginu*, White Eagle Soaring.

It seems like a life time ago--1985. I read about a Native man, Larry Cloud Morgan, from the White Earth Indian Reservation who was in prison for his protest of the nuclear missile silos being built throughout the heartland of the continent and for the failure of the United States government to honor its treaties. The elders of the Ojibwe tribe asked him to bring attention to this violation of Mother Earth and the trillions of dollars that were being diverted from fulfilling treaty obligations to the Native American people.

I wrote to him and his three associates while they were in prison. He and I became close friends when he was released on parole over two years later. He asked me to attend the annual dinner of Clergy and Laity Concerned as his guest as he was honored for his many contributions to peace and non-violence.

He called me "Little Brother" as we built and used a sweat lodge, did pipe ceremony, and talked about life on and off the reservation, about global politics and politics on and off the reservation. He taught me much about the heart and essence of being truly "Indian" beyond the white and "red" stereotypes. I learned the difference between the spirit of walking in balance on the red road and the "righteous red road rage" that is the unfortunate face worn by some Native Americans today. And he taught me to love people no matter how they spoke and behaved toward me. He had risked his life, freedom, and reputation to do what he believed was true to Spirit. He gave freely and with much love to those who needed his counsel and help.

A writer, poet artist, playwright, with a Ph.D. in Sociology, he was also close to his culture and its traditions, able to move easily in white society and among traditional people. Full- blood and cosmopolitan, he smashed many of the stereotypes that had found their way into my thoughts about what a Native American should be like. And I learned much about power and wisdom.

In 1997 he asked me to drive him to the Rediscovery Center on the White Earth Indian Reservation. There young Native American students from regional colleges and universities were meeting. He wished to be with the young people as a supportive elder counseling with a smile and jokes, laughter and empathy. Of course, I said I would and brought along my dream catcher weaving.

The first day some asked if they could watch me weave, the second day several asked me to teach them. At the powwow that evening I was sitting with Larry and Josephine watching the young people dance when they began giving each of the elders a red sport bag filled with various gifts. When they gave me the same gifts I was stunned. My mouth agape, Larry, Josephine and the other elders headed onto the dance arena. Josephine beckoned for me to come. "You're supposed to dance with us!" she said. I danced the honors dance.

      DREAM CATCHER

Our dreams must tell what we cannot speak
Like footprints to Ishpeming [heaven].
They become new songs
Weaving the winds to sing,
Fanning the stars to shine,
Lighting the trail to the sacred mound...
Where we say...
"Mountain, you are beautiful and I am not afraid."   LCM

Larry Cloud-Morgan, activist,
spiritual leader, dies at 61
He brought people from ‘all walks of life’ together

By Chuck Haga
Star Tribune Staff Writer

My big brother, Wabishkie Wun, 1938-1999 Larry Cloud-Morgan didn’t die alone. How could he? He was a peace activist, a playwright, a counselor in shelters and hospitals, on city streets and on the White Earth Chippewa Reservation. He was a storyteller, a spiritual leader, a historian and a linguist who helped preserve the Ojibwe language on tape at Harvard University.
He was a convicted felon who served time in a federal penitentiary for taking a jackhammer to a nuclear silo. He confronted—gently—white protesters who would deny his people their traditional fishing rights. And he was a reformer who helped reshape tribal government on his White Earth Reservation in northwestern Minnesota.

“Larry was the anchor for our reform movement,” said Erma Vizenor, now Secretary-Treasurer of the White Earth Tribal Council. “He gave a lot of himself during that time.”

Cloud-Morgan, 61, died Tuesday at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park from complications caused by diabetes.

“He was gentle with people on the street and spoke truth to the powerful,” said Michael McNally who teaches religion at Eastern Michigan University and studied with Cloud-Morgan at Harvard.

“He was my spiritual mentor,” McNally said. “He was present in the moment with people, whether they were rich or poor, and he brought people together across boundaries of race, class and religion”

“The vigil at the hospital was an illustration of that. The people were from all walks of life.”

Sen. Paul Wellstone said that he met Cloud-Morgan when they were both involved in community organizing. “I think his impact was even more personal than political,” Wellstone said. “Even when he disagreed, it was his way to still be a friend. He was a really good, gentle man, very spiritual and with a tremendous sense of justice. I really believed in him.”

Camp Justice

Cloud-Morgan was born Feb. 1, 1938, in Cass Lake, Minn. An enrolled member of the White Earth Band, he was raised on the Leech Lake Reservation. “He considered himself a resident of both,” McNally said, and of the Twin Cities American Indian community. He lived for a time in Chicago, where he worked for Marshall Field’s and traveled the world as a luggage buyer, acquiring an interest in and knowledge of fine clothing that often surprised and amused people who knew him as a man of the streets. He returned to Minnesota in the early 1980’s.

In the early 1990’s, he was spiritual leader of a grass-roots reform movement known as Camp Justice at White Earth, which ultimately led to the corruption indictment and ouster of former Chairman Darrell (Chip) Wadena and other tribal officers. “Even in a fight, Cloud-Morgan was a healer,” Vizenour said. “One always felt better after being with him, no matter what the situation was.”

Minneapolis attorney Miles Lord worked with Cloud-Morgan and other reformers during the struggle at White Earth. “He had a dedication to freedom and free speech,” Lord said. He opposed tyranny.”

But Lord was a federal judge—and Cloud-Morgan a federal prisoner—when their paths first crossed.

“I first met him in an airplane when he was on his way to jail,” Lord said. “It was for tapping away at that missile silo. I told him I was sorry the judge took it so seriously, when it was just a symbolic act.”
Cloud-Morgan and three others were found guilty in February 1985 of conspiracy, destruction of government property and other charges after they admitted to damaging a Minuteman II missile site near Higginsville, Mo., about 45 miles east of Kansas City. They cut the padlock on a perimeter fence and damaged radar devices, electrical cables, locks controlling access to the missile for maintenance and the concrete launch lid over the missile. Cloud-Morgan was sentenced to eight years in prison followed by three years’ probation. The sentence was reduced, and he was released in July 1987 on probation. But in 1989, he was ordered back to prison for a year for violating his probation. He had traveled to Georgia and Florida—for nuclear protests without seeking permission from his probation supervisor. He knew he wouldn’t get permission, he told the judge. And he knew he had to go to the protests.

Hard to see anger

In 1990, at the height of the controversy over tribal fishing rights in Wisconsin, Cloud-Morgan went to one of the fishing sites to burn sage, recite prayers and beat a ceremonial drum.

“Throw him in the drink!” one white protester shouted. Another yelled, “You beat that too hard and you won’t be able to hold your welfare check, buddy.”

With another protester, less strident, Cloud-Morgan talked. “I’m a person like you,” he said. “It’s hard to see good people get angry.”

He worked with Catholic Charities, and he was a board member and volunteer worker at St. Joseph’s home for battered women in Minneapolis. In 1997, he received a human service award from the McKnight Foundation.

Despite his own failing health, he had participated in many funerals in recent years. “He was not a priest or medicine man, but a spiritual leader who a lot of people called on.” McNally said. “It took a toll on him, but he wanted to make sure that people passed with dignity.” He planned the liturgy for his own service, McNally said.

Cloud-Morgan is survived by sisters Sophie Jenkins, Minneapolis, and Leona Cloud, of Onigum Minn., and brothers Elmer (Bud) Morgan, of Cass Lake, and James Morgan of Newport Beach, Calif.

A wake will be held after 5 p.m. today at the Office of Indian Ministry, 3045 Park Av. S., in Minneapolis. An additional wake is planned Friday at the Veterans Memorial Center in Cass Lake. The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Center, with burial at the Morgan Cemetery in rural Cass Lake.

Larry got his picture in the paper and a sentence of eight years in Federal Penitentiary for this act of protest against the defilement of Mother Earth and the misuse of funds dedicated to his people under treaty obligation. His friends are Father Paul Kabat, Helen Woodson, Father Carl Kabat. Behind them is the air hammer they used for twenty minutes before it broke down.

Here is Larry with ELF protesters in Wisconsin in October 1999. His activism spanned the range of human rights, justice, peace, and the environment.

This is a crazy world. What can be done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years ago. He said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." Get the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system. That's why we advocate using the Liberty Dollar, to understand the monetary and banking system. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for each individual. Not only does this end personal debt, it places the people first in line as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles. You CAN take back your power and stop volunteering to pay taxes to the collection agency for the BEAST. You can take back that which is yours, always has been yours and use it to pay off your debts. And you can send others to these pages to discover what you are discovering.
