Leonard Peltier Is Free
A Life the System Tried to Silence
Born on September 12, 1944, Leonard Peltier is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota Nations. Wrongly imprisoned for nearly 49 years, he became a symbol of Indigenous resistance and the fight for justice worldwide.
Today, Leonard’s story stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, resistance, and the ongoing fight for justice.
What injustice tried to bury, truth carried forward.
Leonard Peltier’s freedom is more than the release of one man. It is a victory for justice and a reminder of the systemic injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples. His voice—once silenced—continues to inspire generations to fight for truth and equality.
