Thank you, #PresidentBiden! Yes, #LeonardPeltier will be confined to his home, but his home is ready and waiting for him!

"The people of the #PineRidgeReservation see #Peltier as our respected elder, and we have purchased and prepared a house for him on his homelands in #TurtleMountain. We are ready to welcome him home with open arms, to show him the care and support he deserved for his whole life. He deserves to live out his last days with dignity and surrounded by loved ones."

"#PresidentBiden, we implore you one last time: please have mercy. Please let Leonard Peltier come home and heal from the systems that stole his innocence as a young boy and lasted a lifetime."

Thank you for everything, #PresidentBiden

I'm sorry there are ppl in this country who are so ill-informed that they can't see how much good you've done for the nation & the world & will subsequently vote against their own interests & the ppl they love. I'm sorry that our media has & continues to fail us in their addiction to fake scandals while sane-washing a known criminal & traitor. You are a true patriot. Thank you for your sacrifices for our nation. History will remember 💙 @whitehouse

#Taos #ReggaeBand #IrieBellion Releases Powerful Single Advocating #ClemencyForLeonardPeltier

By Native News Online Staff
January 07, 2025

"Six-piece reggae band IrieBellion, based in #TaosNewMexico, has released a new single to advocate for the release of #LeonardPeltier, a #NativeAmericanActivist who has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years.

"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' features Grammy-winning flutist #RobertMirabal of Taos Pueblo and a traditional drum group composed of singers from several Indigenous nations. Through this collaboration, the band hopes to amplify calls for President Joe Biden to grant clemency to Peltier.

"The song blends IrieBellion’s reggae-inspired rhythms with Robert Mirabal’s signature flute playing and the traditional Indigenous drumming and singing of #JohnSwiftbird (#Lakota), #ChaskePacheco (#Dakota / #SantaDomingoPueblo), and #BrysonSanchez (Dakota / #SanFelipePueblo).

"The song makes a direct #PleaForJustice, with Davis crafting a chorus —'Do the right thing, let freedom ring/ ​It's been so long, let's right this wrong' — that appeals to #PresidentBiden to take action and right what the band views as a longstanding wrong.

"The musical advocacy for Peltier's case has a rich history in popular music. #RobbieRobertson (Mohawk), the legendary guitarist and songwriter of The Band, created a particularly powerful statement with his song 'Sacrifice', which incorporated Peltier's own voice through a recorded prison phone call with Robertson. Little Steven (#StevenVanZandt), known for both his work with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and his solo career, also contributed to this musical legacy with his own 'Leonard Peltier,' which, like IrieBellion's new release, used Caribbean rhythms to carry its message of justice.

"Peltier, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of #Chippewa Indians, became involved in the American Indian Movement (#AIM) in the 1970s, a time of tension between Indigneous communities and the U.S. government.

AIM advocated addressing issues such as police brutality, treaty violations, and systemic inequality affecting Native Americans.

"Peltier’s case comes from a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where two FBI agents and a young Native man were killed. The shootout occurred during a period of violence on the reservation, often referred to as the '#ReignOfTerror,' when residents faced threats and attacks for their ties to AIM.

"Peltier was convicted in 1977 of killing the agents, but his trial has been widely criticized. Key evidence was withheld by the prosecution, including ballistics reports that could have supported his defense.

"Eyewitness testimony used to extradite Peltier from Canada was later recanted, with the witness stating they were coerced by the FBI. Even the U.S. attorney who handled the case has since admitted that no one knows who fired the fatal shots.

"Peltier has maintained his innocence for nearly five decades, and his case has been condemned by numerous human rights organizations, including #AmnestyInternational. Calls for his release have grown in recent years, with Peltier now in his late seventies and facing health challenges.

"'Leonard Peltier’s Song' is available on streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and can also be found on IrieBellion’s HearNow page. The band encourages listeners to not only enjoy the song but also take action by learning about Peltier’s case, signing petitions, and contacting officials to advocate for his release.

"For those who want to learn more, organizations such as the International #LeonardPeltierDefenseCommittee provide resources and updates on efforts to secure his freedom."

Letter | #PardonLeonardPeltier

Jan 6, 2025

"Letter to #PresidentBiden:

"On Dec. 15 1890, over 135 yers ago, Chief Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux was killed while in the custody of the U.S. Cavalry. That incident was not the first and would not be the last violation of the Native American people in our country. There have been many violations of our native peoples during the history of our country, too many to list here.

"To your credit you have tried to make some amends during your administration. You have appointed Native Americans to Cabinet positions, you have apologized for the mistreatment of untold numbers of Native American children forcefuly sent to government-run schools and recently you made a showing at the Tribal National Summitt.

"I am respectfully asking you to to take one more step, a very big step, to commute his sentence of Leonard Peltier, an American Indian movement leader who has been in federal prison since the 1970s, and pardon him. Peltier has been in Federal detention for too long and needs to be released, allowed to return to his family and the reservation of his choosing. Although these are different situations, If South African reconciliation meant the release of Nelson Mandela, then perhaps reconciliation for Native Americans should involve the release of Leonard Peltier."

The right is about to go nuts with this;

“President Joe Biden will award the nation’s highest civilian honor to more than a dozen politicians, philanthropists and cultural icons, the White House announced Saturday.

The list of 19 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients includes former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire donor George Soros. The recipients are scheduled to receive the awards at a White House ceremony Saturday. Four people are being honored posthumously.”
