  • democracynow.org - As President Obama’s last month in office begins, Amnesty International and other groups are calling on the president to grant clemency to Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who has been imprisoned for 40 years. The former member of the American Indian Movement was convicted of killing two FBI agents during a shootout on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975. Leonard Peltier has long maintained his innocence. The shootout occurred two years after the American Indian Movement occupied the village of Wounded Knee for 71 days. The occupation of Wounded Knee is considered the beginning of what Oglala people refer to as the "Reign of Terror." We speak to Peltier’s attorney, Martin Garbus, and Norman Patrick Brown, a longtime friend of Leonard Peltier’s. He survived the 1975 Pine Ridge shootout.

    An FBI cover up that goes way beyond even Leanard, that is why they are so afraid of releasing him. Their own actions tell it all. PLEASE ACT! If he has to die in Prison it will be one of our worst tragedies. However, he will remain a hero, a martyr and a legacy that will not be forgotten.

      He was no fall guy. To all you dupes, find out his connection to the execution-style murder of fellow AIM member, the Canadian Mi'kmaq woman from Nova Scotia, Anna Mae Acquash. Reading about his connection to her murder makes me mad that any of you would actually believe he was innocent.

    8. Who are the Native Americans?
    Answer: ‘Native American’ is another contemporary sociology term or disassociation conquest-tag - an invented construct of European conquerors. It, like many other
    misnomers and tags, is not a national identity of the Aboriginals, but is a political
    status-class designation, designed to expand upon social and political divisions, displacement, and confusion amongst the Aboriginal Moors of the Americas.

      @@kevinstephens4377 the agents were trying to find Jimmy Eagle who was supposedly in a fight then took off with someone else's boots. They didn't know Peltier was on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and he didn't know they were there trying to find someone else. In the end, all that matters is he killed two FBI agents, and was convicted for it
