Interest in imprisoned American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier is low at the Democratic National Convention, The Native American Times reports.
Wanti Wancus-Waters, a member of the Montauk Tribe, went to Boston in hopes of drumming up support. He says people are receptive to the cause.
Peltier is serving two life sentences for the murders of two FBI agents in June 1975. He has been refused parole several times.
