Leonard Peltier is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976, even though government attorneys and courts acknowledge that the government withheld and fabricated evidence and coerced witnesses in order to fraudulently convict him.

Leonard is recognized worldwide as a political prisoner and a symbol or resistance against the abuse and repression of indigenous people.

This year marks the 30th year of Leonard's imprisonment. Despite the fact that the government has admitted that the trial was a fraud, Leonard remains behind bars because The government doesn't want this vocal defender of indigenous rights to be free.
