Скачать или смотреть Leonard Peltier’s Clemency & What about Annie Mae Aquash?

After nearly 50 years of unjust incarceration, Leonard Peltier—America’s longest-incarcerated Native political prisoner—has finally been granted clemency by President Joe Biden. Leonard’s release date is set for February 18th, but we are all hoping he will be freed even sooner. This marks the end of decades of systemic injustice, but it also highlights the need for accountability and healing.

In this emergency episode of the 7th Generation Podcast and Dr. B Teaches, we explore Leonard Peltier’s incredible story: from his traumatic childhood in federally funded boarding schools, where he endured physical and emotional abuse designed to erase his culture and identity, to his role in the American Indian Movement (AIM), where he became a leader in the fight for Native sovereignty.

We’ll dive into the tragic events at Pine Ridge Reservation during the 1970s, a period known as the ‘Reign of Terror.’ During this time, over 60 Native people were murdered, and their families are still waiting for justice. We’ll also discuss Leonard’s deeply flawed trial, marred by FBI misconduct, fabricated evidence, and constitutional violations—facts even the U.S. government later admitted. Despite maintaining his innocence and decades of calls for clemency from global leaders like Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and Pope Francis, Leonard has endured almost five decades behind bars.

This podcast also addresses the controversy surrounding Leonard’s alleged involvement in the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, a Mi’kmaq activist whose death remains a source of pain and unanswered questions in Indian Country. While Leonard has consistently denied involvement, the conversation about justice for Anna Mae and the other victims of the Reign of Terror must continue.

Leonard Peltier’s clemency is not just a legal decision—it’s a powerful moment in the fight for justice and healing for Native people. But it’s also a reminder of the work that remains. This episode calls for accountability for the victims of the Reign of Terror, support for Anna Mae’s family, and continued advocacy for Indigenous rights and sovereignty.

Let’s celebrate Leonard’s upcoming freedom while staying committed to the ongoing fight for justice in Indian Country.
