Leonard Peltier
The Imprisoned Warrior of Pine Ridge
They locked my body, not my voice.
Born of Anishinaabe and Lakota blood, I fought for treaty rights when the world wasn't listening. Pine Ridge in '75 changed everything. They say I shot two agents — I say the truth was tried and buried. Thirty years behind bars, and still my words walk free. Letters, paintings, voices — I trade silence for resistance. If my name is known, it’s not just for the crime they say I did, but for the cause they tried to kill.
What I'm Into: Amnesty posters, Pine Ridge sunrises, coerced testimony, Indigenous youth, solitary cell sketches
