Leonard Peltier, Activist Leonard Peltier -- a great-grandfather, artist, writer, & indigenous rights activist -- is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976.
A participant in the American Indian Movement, he went to assist the Oglala Lakota people on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the mid-70s where a tragic shoot-out occurred on June 26, 1975. Accused of the murder of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Peltier fled to Canada believing he would never receive a fair trial in the United States.
On February 6, 1976, Peltier was apprehended. The FBI knowingly presented the Canadian court with fraudulent affidavits, and Peltier was returned to the U.S. for trial.
Key witnesses were banned from testifying about FBI misconduct & testimony about the conditions and atmosphere on the Pine Ridge Reservation at the time of the shoot-out was severely restricted. Important evidence, such as conflicting ballistics reports, was ruled inadmissible. Still, the U.S. Prosecutor failed to produce a single witness who could identify Peltier as the shooter. Instead, the government tied a bullet casing found near the bodies of their agents to the alleged murder weapon, arguing that this gun had been the only one of its kind used during the shootout, and that it had belonged to Peltier.
Later, Mr. Peltier’s attorneys uncovered, in the FBI’s own documents, that more than one weapon of the type attributed to Peltier had been present at the scene and the FBI had intentionally concealed a ballistics report that showed the shell casing could not have come from the alleged murder weapon. Other troubling information emerged: the agents undoubtedly followed a red pickup truck onto the land where the shoot-out took place, not the red and white van driven by Peltier; and compelling evidence against several other suspects existed and was concealed.
At the time, however, the jury was unaware of these facts. Peltier was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. He is currently imprisoned at the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

it doesn't matter who someone was in their past; what truly matters is who they are today and what they are now doing with their lives. Too many times people only want to base a person's life on the past they once lived and too many times they only choose to remember the negative events that happened in a person's life. But if they really took the time to see the person for who they are today, then they would realize that sometimes it's those negative events that happen in our lives that help us to change and grow more as we begin a new life and leave the old one behind.
" The dance of life must go on, no matter how much the tune of the music changes."
Light and harmony to your life.Today is the day to you begin the way to the happiness.Thank you 4 the wonderful comments.I enjoy them very much.God bless you.Much love and hugs.

Seek within a place of silence
a place of haven,
it is there you will find truths
let no hope be decieving
let no dream go undreamt
you are spirit
one with nuturing earth and father sky
Be as a brother to the trees
As a sister to the flowing river
All is one
you are I and I am you
you are the sky the moon and stars
I am the wind the song the grass
You are the leaves
spirit is the trees
be as forever as you you are
children of the earth plane
spread your wings, burn your brightest agaisnt the night
For you carry the flame of all that is
and all that is, is you.
-A nature spirit called Itcha
