‘Stand With Us Again’: 120 Tribal Leaders Urge Biden To Release Leonard Peltier

E-mail Print PDF
Leonard Peltier With just one week left in Joe Biden’s presidency, more than 120 tribal leaders on Monday urged him to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist who has been in prison for nearly 50 years after a trial riddled with misconduct and a broken parole process.

“Mr. President, we honor your demonstrated commitment to Indian Country. You have stood with us many times – both in the White House and in the U.S. Senate,” reads their letter. “Our standing in the world as a champion of freedom, justice, and human rights cannot be maintained in a system that allows Leonard Peltier to die in prison.”

A number of prominent tribal leaders are on the letter, including Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota; Nick Tilsen, founder and CEO of NDN Collective, an Indigenous-led advocacy group; Mark Macarro, president of the National Congress of American Indians and tribal chair of the Pechanga Band of Indians in California; and Deborah Parker, executive director of the Native American Boarding School Coalition.
