Leonard Peltier talks freedom, future after nearly 50 years in prison
After nearly five decades behind bars, 80-year-old Leonard Peltier is learning what freedom feels like again. The Native American activist, whose case became a symbol of injustice for Indigenous rights supporters worldwide, was released from prison in February following a last-minute commutation by President Biden. Now living in a modest home on North Dakota’s Turtle Mountain reservation, Peltier is adjusting to simple pleasures—fixing an old van, drinking endless cups of coffee, and reconnecting with family he lost decades with. Allison Herrera with MPR has the full story on one of America’s most debated cases.
