There are events and meetings you are able to attend. They also include information about your legal rights. A great example of this is information they provide on what to do when being approached by the police:
  1. Do ask for a lawyer immediately upon being arrested or being placed into custody.
  2. Do stay calm and keep your emotions from getting the best of you. Be courteous even if the police officer is not. You will only give the officers more ammunition against you if you begin yelling, arguing or refusing reasonable directives.
  3. Do carry identification at all times and be prepared to produce it.
  4. Do keep your hands where the police officer can see them.
  5. Do take photographs, if you are injured, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
  6. Do remember the officer's name and badge number as well as any witness information. Write down everything you remember about the encounter as soon as possible.
  7. Don't run.
  8. Don't touch the police officer.
  9. Don't make any statements about the incident without first having spoken to an attorney. Reiterate your right to remain silent, if necessary.

However, they would have protected both Felix and Sitting Bull. The NCAAP would have fought fort the right to have Felix's funeral. Despite the fact that Felix fought for the US, the government denied sending his body home. If the NCAAP was around they could have fought against that decision. 

Sitting Bull experienced a type of incarceration and criminalization. The US government did anything they could to take this land. An organization like LIVEFREE could have possibly fought for the right of the Sioux people.]]> 2023-10-21 17:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/reevemadison/w4h8onrspz7vej1w/wish/2757271694
