life terms for a crime many believe he did not
commit. The conviction and imprisonment of Leonard
Peltier is an injustice. His prosecution by the
United States government represents yet another
attempt to snuff out American Indian culture and
leaders. The outspokenness of Peltier and other
AIM members may be the only reason why Leonard
Peltier has sat in...
