Native American activist Leonard Peltier, freed from prison!
By Levi Rickert
Leonard Peltier will begin a new chapter in his life on Tuesday morning, February 18, 2025. He will be released from the Federal Correctional Complex Coleman in Florida. He will be flown home to the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation, where he will spend the rest of his life under home confinement.
Incarcerated for almost 49 of his 80 years on Mother Earth, he was granted a presidential commutation by President Joe Biden. It was not the pardon that many of Peltier’s supporters wanted, but nonetheless, his release from prison into house confinement is a welcome end to a horrific chapter.
Watch his welcome home.
