  2. Leonard Peltier is being interviewed on tonight's Cascade PBS News Hour.

    To many supporters, Leonard Peltier was a political prisoner unjustly punished for his activism with the American Indian Movement. To his critics, he is a remorseless killer of two FBI agents in 1975, a charge he denies. President Biden commuted Peltier’s sentence, restricting him to home confinement.

  4. "Leonard’s release in February is of course wonderful. But unfortunately, that does not mean that he is completely free. Leonard has been imposed house arrest as a restriction, which means that he is not allowed to leave his home." #FreeLeonardPeltier #Indigenous

  8. I somehow missed the great news that Leonard Peltier had his sentence commuted by Biden and was released from prison 2 weeks ago. thehill.com/policy/energy-envi #FreeLeonardPeltier

  9. So, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding #BuffySainteMarie and her heritage. But whether she is a pretendian (she claims to be adopted, something that's been disputed) or not, a lot of Native Americans accepted her as one of their own, and she had her pulse on what was going on with #AIM...

    Buffy's Censored Words Led to Revelations in New #LeonardPeltier Film Premiered at Sundance

    "My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
    Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
    The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of Exposure…"
    - Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 4, 2025

    TSAILE, #NavajoNation -- "The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson's secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free
    Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer #JesseShortBull told Censored News.

    "Buffy's interview at Dine' College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the #JumpingBull property on #PineRidge. Buffy said, 'Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium. That is what never seems to be remembered.'

    "Dickie Wilson planned to turn over the #MineralRights in the Badlands to the U.S. government. The U.S. government wanted the land for uranium mining. Dick Wilson's secret plan was discovered in the documents in the BIA file cabinets by the #AmericanIndianMovement, during the takeover of the #BIA building in Washington in 1972.

    "Following the premiere of #FreeLeonardPeltier at the Sundance Film Festival, Jesse Short Bull, Oglala Lakota, and director of the film, reveals how Buffy's words led to the search for the facts about #DickWilson's #UraniumMining scheme with the U.S. government. 'Buffy's song about Anna Mae really shocked me, she outlined it so well,' Short Bull said. 'The plans for mineral development for Pine Ridge were discovered at the 1972 BIA takeover, and by the 1980's the big wig energy companies came to Pine Ridge with big ideas for development."

  10. #LeonardPeltier, finalmente a casa.
    "Dopo un processo farsa per omicidio e 49 anni passati in cella, l’attivista nativo-americano va ai domiciliari per decisione (in extremis) di #Biden.
    «Lo cureremo ricollegandolo alla sua terra»."

  13. Biden communted the sentences of 37 death row prisoners and decided to #FreeLeonardPeltier on his way out and now Trump promises to #FreeRossUlbricht and the J6 prisoners. These are great steps but let's keep working to #AbolishTheDeathPenalty, #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners, and #AbolishPrisons

    An event by Free Them All Berlin & T.o.N. in Zielona Gora

    Worldwide as well as in Berlin, there has been support for many years for the demand of all indigenous communities in the USA to finally release Leonard Peltier.

    At the event, we will talk about his life and consider what we can do here in Berlin to free him.

    Leonard Peltier is an Ojibway (Chippewa) Lakota and survivor of the child and youth boarding school program for the destruction of indigenous ways of life in the USA.

    He has been a political prisoner of the U.S. government since 1976 for his involvement in defensive struggles against environmental destruction (uranium mining) and deadly racial violence on the Pine Ridge Reservation. As a member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), he and others succeeded for the first time in the early 1970s in calling into question the murderous colonization of the Americas in the USA.

    Eine Veranstaltung von Free Them All Berlin & T.o.N. im Zielona Gora

    Weltweit als auch in Berlin gibt es seit vielen Jahren Unterstützung für die Forderung aller indigenen Gemeinden der USA, Leonard Peltier endlich freizulassen.

    In der Veranstaltung werden wir über sein Leben berichten und überlegen, was wir hier in Berlin konkret weiter machen können, um ihn zu befreien.

    Leonard Peltier ist Ojibway (Chippewa) Lakota und Überlebender des Kinder- und Jugendinternatsprogramms zur Vernichtung indigener Lebensweisen in den USA.

    Seit 1976 ist er politischer Gefangener der US Regierung, weil er sich an Abwehrkämpfen gegen Umweltzerstörung (Uranabbau) und tödliche rassistische Gewalt in der Pine Ridge Reservation beteiligt hat. Als Mitglied des American Indian Movement (AIM) gelang es ihm zusammen mit anderen Anfang der 1970er Jahre zum ersten Mal, die mörderische Kolonialisierung der Americas in den USA breit in Frage zu stellen.

  16. Fast ein ganzes Leben im Gefängnis... Als eine seiner letzten Amtshandlungen hat Präsident Biden die Haftstrafe von #LeonardPeltier in Hausarrest umgewandelt. Der #Indigene Aktivist war 1977 in einem unfairen politisch motiviertem Prozess verurteilt worden und ist mittlerweile schwer krank. #GoodNews #FreeLeonardPeltier

  17. Many, many moons ago (~1988), I first learned about and and did a very, very tiny amount of work/#activism around the campaign.

    Am quite surprised to hear today that his sentence has been commuted.

  18. #LeonardPeltier is finally going home!

    “It’s finally over–I’m going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I’m a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.”

    Breaking news!

    #CensoredNews: "With just moments left before he leaves office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier. Biden said Peltier is to serve the remainder of his sentence in home confinement."

    Leonard Peltier (from 2015): "I have been a resister to the attempted genocide of my people ever since those days, and for this I will more than likely die in a prison. On February 6th, 2015, I will have served 40 years in a federal prison, even after the prosecutor said in 1984 in a high court, the government doesn't know who killed their agents and have no proof against me, because there is none. I was sentenced to 2 life sentences to run consecutively. When I was indicted a life sentence was 7 years, which means I have served 5 life sentences and 4 years, for resisting genocide against Native people. I am only guilty of being Indian."

  19. Biden granted Leonard Peltier clemency and commuted his sentence in the literal last moments of his presidency. It's home arrest, not a total pardon, but did not expect to see that and what a welcome surprise
