Native America Calling: ‘It’s finally over – I’m going home’

Leonard Peltier will spend the remainder of his prison sentence at home after the 11th-hour action by President Joe Biden.

Friends, family and supporters expressed surprise and relief as they heard the news Monday. National Congress of American Indians President Mark Macarro said Biden’s decision comes after “50 years of unjust imprisonment” and is a “powerful act of compassion and an important step toward healing.”

In December, Macarro personally asked Biden to take action on Peltier’s behalf. Among the many advocates for Peltier’s release over the past five decades include South African President Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights.

Join Native America Calling to hear from Peltier’s family and others who have followed his case about what this action means for him and how it will be viewed historically.
