Join Leonard Peltier’s son, Chauncey Peltier, and for a community potluck, singing, drumming, flute music, and dancing to honor Leonard Peltier’s release from Federal imprisonment. Leonard Peltier, an American Indian activist, was imprisoned for nearly half a century after he was convicted for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. President Joe Biden commuted Peltier’s sentence following decades of community-led advocacy calling his imprisonment an example of the U.S. government’s mistreatment of Native Americans. The commutation is not a pardon for crimes committed, a decision some of Peltier’s advocates welcomed since he has always maintained his innocence. Peltier, who is now 80 and of declining health, will transition to home confinement. The celebration is sponsored by Southern Oregon Indian Center; Takelma Cultural Center; Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon; Table Rock Foundation; and Red Earth Descendants.
