As half Cherokee, I am80yo and appreciate this video. It is shameful that this government had and has tried to rid the world of native Americans. Those who want the the land are killers...and I am not referring to the Natives. I am sickened by these actions. There greedy people deserve the wrath of G_d.
I agree .. I had ancestors who was Cherokee. I feel sick of the government too , they are always trying to kill off all other people, they will suffer the consequences one day with God ! ❤
If you go back to the Latin and take apart the name "Government," To Govern means "To restrain," Or to "Rule Over." "Ment" in Latin is the "Mind" and is the root of the English word "Mental." So Government literally means To Restrain the Mind, Or to Rule Over the Mind of its Citizens. Its very nature is largely negative and it takes on a life of its own, devouring everything in its way (Like the Tribes People of N. America) until it devours all it can devour, then it devours itself.
I can't believe that Leonard is still in prison. He is a wronged man from a wronged people. I proudly wear a 'Leonard Peltier' t-shirt in England and I'm glad that many people know who he is and what he represents over here. It was and always has been about land and wealth. People seem more obsessed with financial wealth than spirituality and the well being of their fellow man.
Mercy for Leonard, he has been a fall guy for the criminal and illegal activity, including murder to get at the resources of the Black Hills, particularly the uranium they use for nuclear weapons and bombs to threaten the world with. Leonard has been a true warrior and held strong against this vicious system of exploration, expulsion, and expansionism. It is as cruel, evil and inhumane as anything that is being perpetrated in Palestine today. Leonard has paid with his life for the crimes they are too weak and privileged to ever stand trial for. He has rotted away in a cage far too long in a place he never belonged. He had the right to stand with the People and their right of self determination as well as full rights to the sovereignty of their lands. Release Leonard from these federal cages he has fulfilled the sentences they were to weak to stand trial and be convicted of. Give Leonard back the blue skies, the touch and smile of those of his family and friends. Let Leonard walk in any direction without walls, fences, or a shotgun aimed at his body. May Leonard walk with the wind, may it carry him home again.
How the oppresser keeps Him in Jail now for 47 or more years Just Exposes The Oppresser..Im Reminded Of The WorldWide Song Free Nelson Mandela Which Helped Free Nelson Mandela Mandela..
Leonard Peltier deserves a new trial. Fast forward to the present day: multi national corporations running pipelines through native nations’ lands for oil and gas profits without regard for environmental concerns, and using paramilitary tactics. It’s all connected. What an eye opening and powerful documentary. Thanks for sharing.
Your wrong about the gas and oil pipelines they're more concerned about the environment than people think and they treat the environment with kid gloves very careful and respectful of the environment and the tribes who's land the pipelines cross are paid extremely well for crossing native land and they hire native American people to work with and for them and pay them well so you're misinformed
People watch THUNDERHEART movie with Val Kilner. It's all about this, what happened on the res, the shooting of the FBI men, and Leonard Peltier. Excellent. We are with you Leonard!! Yes you are a warrior for our people. Thankyou.
Leonard Peltier is a hero! A hero and a warrior of his tribe, as well as all Native Americans! He is a hero of the people and a hero of all the opressed peoples of the world! Leonard Peltier and AIM are more important today ,as they ever were. All power to the people! By ANY means necessary! Workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite! #GeneralStrike2020
Leonard peltier is not a Sioux he's a metis and he's from turtle mountain in North Dakota up on the Canadian border just a FYI for those who don't know
@@cjapao8058 Biden was recently even sent a letter from the lead prosecutor that Leonard was not guilty and he should be freed. Sad thing is Now Leonard has Covid and they won’t even give him a booster shot in prison. SMH☹️ #PrayersUp4Peltier #FreePeltier ✊
Deer hunting got me involved in this. Though I'm a white man. I was eating a meal at a truck stop in Washington county IL. I sat down at the coffee bar and to my left was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She was Lakota, she was wearing a fringed leather jacket. Later on after hearing about the "White Calf Buffalo Woman , " I decided it wasn't her. After all she was driving a truck, but that question is still in limbo. She didn't like white people, but I didn't know that until I struck up a conversation. She asked me if I knew why she was called a Indian. I did. I told her that I like the Indigenous people. She ask me if I knew about Grandma Turtle. I didn't so she told me. I think she was in disbelief of me, and I was totally impressed with her. She was respectful she was kind even though I could tell she doubted me. The last thing she said before she left was, " If you want to get behind something, free Lenard Poitier. " I have contacted my Senator several times with no success. Maybe now that the Doctrine of discovery is gone maybe we should all try. Not just the Sioux , but all 500 tribes. The entity we are actually up against is the wealth of Rome. They understand large numbers! This would be good practice for a global federation of tribes if we all tried one more time. I just got done commenting on this. Free Lenard and free Assange.
Yes!! There’s now a great podcast called “Leonard” trying to bring awareness to his case. Most people had never heard of him until recently. His case is one of the most egregious set ups I’ve ever seen. So many grounds to be overturned ... yet nada.
This is a disgusting example of our government and its corruption I am so sick and tired of seeing how horribly this tribe has been treated this man deserves justice that his family deserves justice this government should be shut down and start all over they were completely corrupt they were terrorizing their community thank God they got them out of their community what a disgusting story of our government corruption prayed a great spirit for every one of these people suffering with everything that our government has ever done to them with our tax dollars disgusted I cannot even say how disgusting
I'm writing a book about Leonard and how his incarceration has affected his family and friends. I just published Worst Case Scenario: Election Night. President Adolf Wallace rigs the election and declares martial law. Native Americans decide to take back their country.
the Native American people are a beautiful people. my best friend in school is a Native American. i wish i knew how he is doing. im now 61 years old. i still think of my friend all the time.
I've Shared this and Actually Followed this case since it happened. I believe that Freeing him would be an Incredible Shot in the Arm for the Current Human Rights Movement....if there IS Such a Movement now. There Sure as Hell Ought to be.
Thank you this story is a good one i truly believe he was set up and that was just injustice am more lakota and Cherokee as my grandmother was. So this whole story made me cry he is a warrior and a good man from what he tried to accomplish before his unlawful arrest. Is shameful what was done to Leonard it made me cry seriously did. I have a heart for all nations. And i identify more in my heart and soul with the nations despite me looking more white. Makes me mad that the nations are treated like they do not matter well the nations of people matter to me. Am proud of my native blood. Blessings your way always
I'm 30 min into this and am totally appalled. I'm 52 and had NO IDEA about this other than I had heard the name Leonard Peltier. Thank you so much for putting this on RU-vid.
what does maturity have to do with anything. Common sense however, is of grave importance...common sense and honesty. Men who made critical decisions in Leonard Peltiers case have retracted their statements 40 years later. A prosecutor and judge have regrets..Do YOUR research.
I'm so disappointed that this government would go as far as stripping children from their parents and their heritage just to fatten your pockets and anyone who helps them, how sad are you. This is an atrocious act. We can't allow these people to live comfortable lives no more.
Yes. The arrogance if these oeople.. the politicians..make your job..money.....no handouts etc..do what we say after we stole your land n heritage...these people...really maggots are sickening
I’m an indigenous person...I recall my mother’s Strong Vocal Support in Freeing this Amazing Man. I’m praying 🙏🏽 for his release...Obama lacked the courage, understanding and compassion. I believe that although he was a so-called minority his heart and spirit was warped. He desperately disappointed many. 🤔🙏🏽🙇🏻♀️🔥🕊🇺🇸
What we have w Trump is even worse. He allowed the continuation of the pipe line. He hates everyone including himself. He hates minorities. Guess he loves Norwegians
Trump will do it, I think.Look what the FBI & corrupt politicians have done to him. If it can happen to such a rich man & former President, it can happen to anyone. Send Trump these documentaries!
I remember that day and will never forget the blatant injustice of the deception, murder and land grab for greedy corporate gain from the rightful owners of sacred land!
That's sow right under the treatys you own several states and parts of others and the sacred black hills and yet people are still suffering in prison camps called reservations when they should be living very well off.😊
Qué lastima que no esta subtitulado en español porque nos quedamos fuera de muchas causas siendo indigenas tambien . Abrazos desde lo que hoy conocemos como Argentina y LIBEREN A LEONAR PELTIER!!!!!
The FBI got shown up and they didn't like it. Well for as long as Mr Peltier is inprisoned he is still very much a first nations activist and still gives us hope.
Hi Leonard My mother Pat k.held a Free Peltier conference in Mvskoke Nation during the Clinton year's ❤❤ I pray for you ALL THE TIME ❤ I'VE sent you Xmas cards in the past. It always breaks my heart when they are sent back to me 😢 We still hold great love and respect for you Leonard ❤ Always we will pray for your freedom ❤
All of the Indians who were in the White Clay Creek encampment, on that morning, said that when they were all just waking up and making breakfast, they had scouted the area and immediately saw that they were completely surrounded by SWAT teams, SD State Police, FBI agents, BIA Police, and a platoon of local White ranchers. The Indians said they all feared for their lives and all fully expected to be massacred that day. It is believed, by most experts of this case, that Agents Coler and Williams were intentionally sent onto the Jumping Bull property in order to draw a warning shot from the AIM Indians, or to engage them in a shootout so that the cavalry could be "justified" in annihilating the AIM encampment.
It seems like it was self defence to me. I heard about that battle. It was so shocking to me. That we can break treaties with the people that was blessed with the land. The government rounded the Indians up gave them land and has been taking it away from them ever since they gave it to them. Very sad. The treaties need to be left in place and they need to be allowed to have soviern status.
@Suzie Baer, this is a really good documentary movie. And I think how the story is told here, is the closest to the truth we can get. Thank you for sharing.
@Bo Krause Archery , perhaps you need to do more research. what was causing him to oad weapons? Oh, yeah, that'd b the National Guard! It is our land, simple as... they don't tell you that he's sine been used as a political weapon by the wonderfully compasionate AmeriKKKan Senate. Why is he still incarcerated when he's an elder of the tribe. Perhaps you need to go and look at the way the Natives of your so-called land are treated with disdain ans hatred. One day, the world will wake up to the fact that we have a relationship with our Mother, not a war! "We have prayers and you have guns." "We will come again, all over the world" We are reborn into many cultures and nations around the world. Mitakuye Oyasin. We are ALL related.
@Combat Archery America, Leonard also contributed to making bombs and assigned Anna Mae Aquash to help build bombs to keep her implemented. Peltier never trusted Anna and it looks like she had good reason not to like him much. Even if Peltier didn't kill those two agents, his soul isn't squeaky clean. Years ago I thought he must be innocent because The Dalai Lama saw him as innocent, The Dalai Lama is someone who can see into your mind. Today I am not so convinced. Anna Mae's death is largely to do with Peltier, my the winds here are picking up now...... Heya from Australia 🇦🇺.
2024 - his next parole hearing ? He's 77 now and been imprisoned most of his life for a crime he did not commit. Shame to the people who put him there and keep him there. Where is the great "American Justice" here? He is old now. Let him go home.
Sensenbrenner is one of the most cold-hearted creatures that existed. He spoke of native people as if they are simply an obstacle to capital gain to be removed at any cost. This pains my heart to watch and listen to his rhetoric. Unfortunately, this attitude is fundamental to the colonialist everywhere he goes. It is innate to him. Evil thrives in him.
Why are the truly courageous native Americans never given a fair chance they are the real owners of AMERICA, THEY ARE TREATED SO VERY BADLY FROM LINDA GRAINGER .ENGLAND.XX
This is my adopted brother Kenny Loud Hawk at :51, also along with LP the night we all were stopped by the Oregon Staters on Hiway 880...near the Idaho/Oregon stateline...Nov 14, 1975......
Please contact me asap,I'd like to know more & I don't work for any government agency, I detest their treatment & only seek truth, plain & simple. I can explain in more detail my intentions which are pure, thanks for sharing..
How's this for hypocritical. Lenard Peltier is innocent and rotting in prison. While congresswoman Omar committed immagration fraud and the FBI covers it up! How's that for your CORRUPT Democratic politician's!
@Yoster Schnauss obama was garbage in the Illinois senate where he refused to vote on everything and didn't take a stand on a damn thing. I will never understand how he was elected with the exception of voters not researching anything.
There are everywhere campaigns started to try to get him out of prison.But as we all know he isn,t the only person who got arrested! I,m pretty much sure there are a hand full of most powerful evil unhumans who are responsibe! Until today the African people and all native tribes are still disrespected still killed or locked up! I wished we could do more to help these wonderful people!
Ditto for Charles Manson. Manson killed no one ... he just knew how to program people .... like Tony Robbins! Leonard knows too much and is the reason for his incarceration.!
Biph Kreimier they won't pardon him because they would have to admit they were wrong .. the 70s was a crazy time on those reservations ..alot went on..alot.
L2TheFace Bars I hear you. But this crappy government has pardoned real criminals before. Peltier almost was pardoned by bill Clinton. but due to some of his pathetic actions he pardoned other people who should have rotted in prison...luckily they will rot in hell and Leonard will finally be at piece when he passes away. so sad FREE PELTIER
Here's my theory... what if the masked shooter was government affiliated & hired to kill the 2 agents, because they just might be the 2 agents Jack Steed(r.i.p) saw put Annie in the car trunk after they killed her (dead men tell no tales).. and at the same time use the killings of these 2 sicko's as an excuse to get rid of Peltier. Fin.
Biph Kreimier I wish that there is a way for him to go back home at least there are some people who really care I'm glad that they showed this film people need to know the truth
I have been following this incident since it happened. As Nixon was corrupt so is a system that keeps a man imprisoned for this length of time. Whatever he did. Jan Colchester, England
so saddening the perpetual deviances upon the peoples of their land. and yet such enlightening music; flute and drums give vigour back to life!!! I pray Leonard knows freedom again; that " the war" is overcome.
Leonard is a great artist and even greater Indian leader , another injustice and no shame from the federal government directed towards native Americans , b.i.a. Indian agents and thier administrators live in luxury from the federal government and Indian people across America live in poverty, Indians are being educated and have been increasingly getting stronger and stronger
Indigionous people's of this here United States are still under oppression it makes me sick pres trump is the worst greed has taken over his soul mni wiconi,water is life aho Mitoke oyasin all my relations we are still here
The Tribal leaders agreed and signed on Dakota access pipeline, then they wanted more $$ than was agreed on contract. Thats why they decided to protest.The tribe has a right to protest but their leaders agreed and signed.If it's such a big deal, why werent the other dozen or so pipelines running the same spot not protested?
Trump has done more for the Indians, I'm not going to be pc, than any other president ever. I am going to go to a rally of his and I will make sure that I talk to SOMEONE about Leonard. We have to keep making waves. The more we sound up. The more the right person or person's will take notice
@Bo Krause Archery well there you go people we found the biggest waste of life, this idiot . Congratulations Bo!! We didn't ask for your PATHETIC opinion
Challenge the “implied consent” of a birth certificate. Challenge it in court that tricking the parents into signing it, does not constitute as “implied consent” to the Cestui Que Vie act of 1666. No Man or Woman with their own Corona or Crown as it were, is under any laws. Man is born FREE and will remain FREE forever! An act is not LAW. Law of the Land is not the the same as the Law of the sea. Release Leonard the FREEMAN NOW!! It is declared by GOD himself that He that is born in HIS image, are born and shall REMAIN FREE FOREVER! This includes Leonard or any name this Man goes by. He has a CROWN!
I never thought Peltier was 100% innocent. There's ample evidence he was at the shootout with the FBI agents, and at least some evidence he was one of a few Sioux, very likely along with AIM members Robert Robideau, Dino Butler, and perhaps Joseph Stuntz, who closed in on agents Williams and Coler in the final slew of bullets. Peltier also owned the rifle that put the most bullet holes in the car, and officers, though by everyone's admission, who was holding what firearm at any given time was never proven. Having said that, there's at least some reason to believe that Peltier and the others weren't even sure it was the FBI who were following them, or why, and even more distrust from any US government official to be treated fairly (keep in mind, the Wounded Knee massacre happened on Pine Ridge). There was also a war-like atmosphere in the final few minutes before Williams and Coler (and Stuntz) were killed with hundreds of bullets fired. As one looks at this, even if Peltier was the man who fired the final bullets into Williams and Coler, considering the entire gravity and details of the situation, he long ago should have been at least released to, even if confined to, the Sioux Nation for time served.
FBI agents were causing all sorts of trouble on the Reservations of the Dakotas at this time . They were stoming all sorts of flames and turning people against eachither. This was right after wounded knee 73 if I'm not mistaken. The agents Leonard " shot " had no business on the reservation that day. They never identified themselves and they were armed . They came to start trouble and got what they were looking for . Again I say. Whether or not Leonard was guilty, he has served his time. Over 30 years. He has paid his debt to society. He deserves to be free.
✊🦅🦅🦅🦅👂FIDELITY...BRAVERY... INTEGRITY...FIDELITY... BRAVERY... INTEGRITY.... those WORDS are Important for ALL..,, many suffering from narcissistic personality disorder...
Sounds like another statistic😒 This sort of reminds me of a case that happened around the late 1980s--early 1990s where this 17 year old boy was accused of killing his family, despite not being there the day of the murder, and they still have him locked up to this day. Actually, I think that he is on death row🤔 I wish that I could remember his name! Sadly, there are a lot of innocent people, that are of different races, who are locked up or on death row...but there are many more guilty people who are where they are supposed to be (in prison or on death row).
This government is so wrong. This makes me so pissed off I can't put into words I would be in so much trouble. Hang in there linard you have people who really caress I personally donated to you and the cause thank you for what you stand for
When I heard about Leonard Peltier. I was completely in aw/Shock. That he is still locked up. Because, two white federal agents died on their land. That's some messed up bullshit. I have many other words about his situation. But, it's not going to change the fact that this man, plus many others are locked up for being who they are or because of the color of their skin. I just heard about Leonard Peltier about 10 years ago. I was born about a year after Leonard Peltier was wrongly incarcerated. My love, and heart goes out to you, him, and all the indegenous people of this world. That was turned into a toilet. Sincerely yours, Bubba Stroker....
I Thank God I am not full Apache like my little Grandma or I would be dead by now. Thank God my Gaditino Grandfather gave me citizenship to this country along with God's protection via Jewish-spanish blood.
In light of the children's bodies being found en mass in canada at indian boarding schools i cant help but feel this is connected. Anyone know where to find more info about the documents they found at the BIA building?
Watching this video wondering if all this fabrication the FBI made against this individual has any of these agents been held accountable or did they get slapped on the wrist my view all who is involved that perjured their selves and lied withheld evidence manipulated the system are they in prison now??? .🕶
@@casteretpollux exactly I'm from Sweden but I know the racism and land grabbing by the forest and mining companies here against the Same people here in Sweden and when AIM and The Black Panthers started I read everything I could get hold of a Black US Marine guy that deserted from Vietnam took a liking of me and gave me 2 pins one AIM and another Black Panther to wear on a Anti War Demonstration in Stockholm he was together with my classmates mother so I borrowed and read all his books. He helped me and my classmate with English and we him with the Swedish. After the Vietnam war he remained in Sweden and I understand why. I'm grateful for what he taught me about USA and that is only a speedbumb in history one day it will be washed away by justice and freedom for all the people to come after us that will put the wrongdoing right one day
Sorry I had a laugh at Sussanes Killer when she said "they never really did anything to me". I think with that name it would give most people pause. She looks and sounds like she would be a great/terrific Grand-Mother! I bet she has/had a ton of good stories! So sad of a story for Leonard and really all of the Indigenous Americans! Railroaded so many times, soooo many treaties broken to no fault of their own. Most times kicked off their land when it is discovered it had Minerals or Natural Resources.
Not only that it's there lands. Furthermore how sad it is that corporations and politicians lie for monetary gains your gonna burn in hell. Its unbelievable how you've gone as far as even sending their children to boarding schools to unlearn their own heritage
write to the white house, senators, fbi, ... to grant clemency for Leonard Peltier. Enough is enough. This man is proven innocent and still behind bars!!!
