“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.
