In his final act as president of the United States, Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who has spent nearly 50 years in prison.
After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency.
There is no real justice after losing 50 years of freedom, but today, our hearts burst with joy and gratitude for our uncle Leonard.
Today, we remember the countless prayers that were said for Leonard. We remember and honor those who organized, mobilized, took to the streets, rallied, signed petitions, called representatives, lifted up his story, and fought against Leonard’s unjust incarceration across the U.S. and internationally— especially those who did not live long enough to see the end of it.
Our hearts are with our relatives who are still unjustly incarcerated and continue to be targets of police and state violence. Although this fight to release Leonard Peltier from prison is over, the fight for justice and the healing of our People from systems that continue to target, criminalize, incarcerate, and murder our people is a fight we continue to take on here at NDN Collective, and for the protection of Indigenous rights globally.
Please continue to hold Leonard in your hearts, and say prayers for all that comes next for him. His feet will soon be on the soil of his homelands.
