A leading Member of The American Indian movement has been imprisoned since 1976. Leonard Peltier was illegally extradited from Canada and charged with a crime for which there was there was no proof that he committed.
In February of 1975 Federal agents stormed the Lakota nation at Ogala, South Dakota. A firefight eruptted in which two agents and one Indian were killed. Three A.I.M members were arrested and two of those were acquited. Leonard Peltier remains inprisoned nearly years later after an unfair trial before a jury of non native people.
We demand the immediate release of Our brother leonard and that he be granted executive clemency.

Too few people understand that it has now become the job of the defence to prove the accused innocent- and thats in addition to the fact that the case for the prosecution can consist of nothing more than circumstantial evidence which can not be proved false as opposed to the claims of the prosecution and, thereby, the defence loses by default! Furthermore, the proof of guilt often consists of no more than a concensus of opinions formulated in the minds of a few jurors to which the rest simply assent.

Leonard our brother falsely imprisionated with his rights taken. This story is a US judicial disgrace. How can we the people be free when those whom are innocent are imprisoned!' He has sacrificed enough. I personally beg and plea our native brothers release!' We love you Leonard!'

it is ridiculous that this brother still sits in a sell for the crime of being an indigenous person. it is a shame that wealthy people get away with murder, and rampant destruction for profit, while this man has lost his youth sitting in a cell that should be reserved for a former president, which one, pick one! this mans situation is a testament to the farce that is called our legal system! undo the damage of cointelpro now! from a scattered leaf from the dine tree. our holocaust continues on the reservations that dot this once beautiful and alive land, and beyond those fences to the inner cities where we face the ominous threat of a police force with a mandate of excessive force! we will not shut up till you hear our pleas for "JUST US" to reclaim her name of JUSTICE!!

I feel our Native Brother Leonard Peltier was wrongfully accused. It makes you question our Justice System. In 1976 yeah we were looked down as those "INDIANS". How do u convict a person without proof. A wrong needs to be undone. But then that would mean our justice system would have to admit they were wrong. I dont believe that they want to admit to maken a mistake. Its is long overdue. Please take this matter into serious consideration. Thank You. ANGELA BREAD A "NATIVE AMERICAN". I AM MARICOPA N PIMA FROM THE GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY, ARIZONA.

Mr. Peltier has been the scapegoat of the fbi for too long. What sort of gov't has to hide its lies from its people? A CURRUPT gov't does. I am exercising my rights given to me by the Constitution of the United States of America, the right to free speech. Mr. Peltier has been a model prisoner and has suffered long enough for a crime he did not commit. Under the natural laws of God right will always come out right. FREE LEONARD!!!!!!!
